Alan Pardew admits sought-after Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie would be "foolish" not to consider moving to Tottenham.

Bolasie's sparkling form over the past couple of seasons has apparently attracted the interest of Spurs, although Eagles boss Pardew wants to keep the 26-year-old and recently slapped a £25million price tag on him.

Bolasie has refused to play down talk of leaving Selhurst Park, but Pardew said: "If any of my players get linked to bigger clubs I wouldn't expect them to (ignore it). It would be a foolish move.

"Players move a lot in the current world of football, they don't stay at clubs for five, seven years. You have to keep your options open and I have no problem with that.

"The option I want is that is that he's a Crystal Palace player who is loved by our fans and loved by the management team.

"Yannick is a player who will be linked with other clubs like Tottenham because he is an exciting player."

Last fixture: W - 2-0 - Newcastle Next fixture: Sunderland (a) AFP/Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 16) Dmitri Payet (West Ham) - new entry Has had an impressive start to the season and scored his first goal for the Hammers last weekend. With Andy Carroll and Enner Valencia limiting Slaven Bilic's options up top, the attacking midfielder will need to chip in with a few more goals. Last fixture: L - 1-2 - Leicester Next fixture: Bournemouth (h) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 15) Yohan Cabaye (Crystal Palace) - down 6 Palace were pretty unlucky not to pick up a point against the Gunners - Francis Coquelin should have seen red for a couple of fouls that could have seen him pick up a second yellow. Cabaye matched his counterparts in yellow and Palace will hope to build on a solid start at home to Villa. Last fixture: L - 1-2 - Arsenal Next fixture: Aston Villa (h) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 14) Nathan Redmond (Norwich City) - new entry Never mind the atrocious defending, it was a lovely goal by Redmond who looks like he could be a break-out star for the Canaries as they fight relegation. A good showing against a solid Stoke team will see his stock rise further Last fixture: W - 3-1 - Sunderland Next fixture: Stoke City (h) Getty Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 13) Salomon Rondon (West Brom) - new entry A club record price-tag will come with hefty expectations. Rondon came on in the closing stages against Watford and didn't have much of a chance to show what he can do - the powerful Venezuelan will want a good showing against the Premier League's current 'crisis club', Chelsea. Last fixture: D - 0-0 - Watford Next fixture: Chelsea (h) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 12) John Stones (Everton) - new entry How apt that the Chelsea target, the man being touted as a replacement for John Terry, comes up against Manchester City and Sergio Aguero - the man who many have said ended the career of the former England captain at the Etihad last Sunday. A strong showing against Aguero will only reinforce Jose Mourinho's desire to bring the budding star to Stamford Bridge. Last fixture: W - 3-0 - Southampton Next fixture: Man City (h) GETTY IMAGES Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 11) Troy Deeney (Watford) - down 6 Watford didn't create many chances against a West Brom side content to pick up a point at Vicarage Road last Saturday. Southampton will, presumably, show a bit more willingness to attack - which could give Deeney the sniff at goal he didn't have against the Baggies. Last fixture: D - 0-0 - West Brom Next fixture: Southampton (h) Getty Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 10) Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) - down 2 Another week, another sluggish showing from Wayne Rooney as United's main striker. Memphis Depay impressed in the Champions League but Pedro has now gone to Chelsea - the pressure is on for Rooney to deliver as United's front man, but can he do it anymore? Newcastle's porous defence may help. Last fixture: W - 1-0 - Aston Villa Next fixture: Newcastle (h) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 9) Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) - up 2 The England striker was 'too tired' to play more than an hour against Stoke last week, but will Mauricio Pochettino really risk resting his talisman from the start? Saido Berahino is still a target while Clinton N'Jie has arrived, but isn't really a central striker. Last fixture: D - 2-2 - Stoke Next fixture: Leicester (a) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 8) Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City) - up 6 What a start for the Algerian, three goals in two games for Claudio Ranieri's surprise package. Both wins were extremely impressive and well deserved - a win against an unconvincing Spurs team could do wonders for their confidence. Last fixture: W - 2-1 - West Ham Next fixture: Tottenham (h) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 7) Jermain Defoe (Sunderland) - down 3 The boos rang out early on in the Stadium of Light and Sunderland already look doomed. Defoe struggled to get a sight at goal against newly-promoted Norwich and has now been linked with a move to former club Bournemouth. We can't say we blame him. Last fixture: L - 1-3 - Norwich Next fixture: Swansea (h) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 6) Romelu Lukaku (Everton) - up 9 That's more like it. When you pay £28m for a striker you expect something special and that was the exact performance Lukaku delivered at St Mary's. The continued inclusions of Ross Barkley and Arouna Kone, especially, to offer genuine support to the striker have helped - he is now getting chances made for him. Up next is a big test against a rare physical equal, Vincent Kompany. Last fixture: W - 3-0 - Southampton Next fixture: Man City (h) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 5) Eden Hazard (Chelsea) - down 4 Like the rest of the Chelsea team, Eden Hazard has looked completely out of sorts in the opening two weeks of the season. Gone is the vibrant attacking threat who has been compared to the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, in his place is a jaded winger without the energy to beat a man. One feels a fully refreshed Hazard may have scored that chance to make it 1-1 at the Etihad. Last fixture: L - 3-0 - Man City Next fixture: West Brom (a) Getty Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 4) Christian Benteke (Liverpool) - new entry Brendan Rodgers said that he'd never had a striker like Benteke at Liverpool, someone who could give him a 'different dimension'. His physicality and ability to hold up the ball will be needed at the Emirates where Liverpool will try to out-muscle the Gunners. He is still trying to find a real connection with his new team-mates but there have been signs of it in the opening two matches Last fixture: W - 1-0 - Bournemouth Next fixture: Arsenal (a) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 3) Sergio Aguero (Manchester City) - new entry As long as Sergio Aguero stays fit, Manchester City will be among the favourites for the title. There is no other striker like him in world football - so adept with his movement in and around the box that he makes world class defenders look like Sunday league players. He should've scored more against Chelsea but even though he didn't put the chances away, his ability to find space is a sight to behold. Last fixture: W - 3-0 - Chelsea Next fixture: Everton (a) GETTY IMAGES Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 2) Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) - new entry The Chilean is just so crucial to any hopes Arsenal have at the title this season. A week earlier in the defeat to West Ham, the Gunners looked so lost that Wenger was forced to rush his main man back despite promising him a longer rest. His effort and work rate set the tone for the rest of the team and his quality makes him their go-to guy. Arsenal are a completely different prospect with him in the team. Last fixture: W - 2-1 - Crystal Palace Next fixture: Liverpool (h) Getty Images Premier League Power Rankings - Game Week 3 1) David Silva (Manchester City) - up 1 Silva is a singular talent in the Premier League. There are others like him - Juan Mata, Mesut Ozil - but neither of those two players has matched the level that Silva can reach when he is on form. Chelsea had no answer for the brilliant Spaniard, who makes the rest of the Manchester City team tick. The biggest difference between the two teams last week.

Striker Glenn Murray is another Eagle being touted for a move away from south London, with Bournemouth reportedly eyeing a £3million swoop.

But Pardew feels the 31-year-old should stay loyal to the club which gave him his chance in the Premier League after nine months on the sidelines with cruciate ligament damage.

Murray had been farmed out on loan to Reading when Pardew took over at Selhurst, but he returned to play a major role in their storming finish to last season.

Pardew said: "He's very much our player and someone who has been brilliant for this football club and who will be brilliant for this football club going forward if he remains our player.

"He has all the attributes you want as a striker in the Premier League.

"I was the one who brought him back from loan and gave him the games. So as much as we owe Glenn he owes us for the platform we have given him, particularly in the Premier League, where he did very well for me. I have a good relationship with him."

Fellow forward Dwight Gayle is likely to leave despite turning down a move to Championship newcomers Bristol City.

Pardew added: "I don't think Dwight had a flavour for going to Bristol City.

"Sometimes that's the player's decision and we stand by that, so he remains our player until such time as another club put a bid in that we accept."
