West Ham have joined Tottenham and Liverpool in the transfer battle for Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie, according to reports.

The Congo international has become one of Palace’s most influential players since signing for the club from Bristol City in 2012.

The 26-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season in the top-flight last year and has been equally impressive this term despite injuries blighting his availability.

Interest for Bolasie is expected to intensify this summer and the Brentwood Gazette say West Ham are one of several Premier League clubs hoping to land his signature.

It is claimed Liverpool and Tottenham are monitoring Bolasie’s situation at Selhurst Park, but that the Hammers also want to secure his services.

Winger Bolasie has been one of the few positives for struggling Palace this season.

Saturday’s 2-2 draw at West Ham ensured the club’s winless league run extended to 13 games – while the gap to the relegation zone remains at seven points.
