Zaha has 'a Neymar kind of ability', says former Crystal Palace team-mate Bolasie

Wilfried Zaha has “a Neymar kind of ability”, according to his former Crystal Palace team-mate Yannick Bolasie.

Zaha and Bolasie formed a formidable attacking partnership at Selhurst Park, their skilful dribbling providing no end of headaches for opposition defenders.

Zaha has frequently been linked with a move away from Palace, with Unai Emery recently admitting he wanted to sign him for Arsenal instead of Nicolas Pepe, and Bolasie seemingly believes his old partner in crime has the ability to play at the top level.

“I think I would have taught him some things, to be honest, some little things he would have taken from my book,” Bolasie told Palace’s official website.
