Tottenham Hotspur are lining up a move to sign Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie, according to a report.

Spurs were forced to wait to begin their pursuit of the 26-year-old until they had sold Roberto Soldado to clear his salary off their wage bill to free up space for the move.

Mauricio Pochettino's men are now attempting to secure the signature of the Democratic Republic of Congo international before the transfer window shuts, although Palace have insisted that the player is not for sale, reports The Mirror.

Bolasie scored four goals in 34 appearances in the Premier League for Palace last season.
