Palace winger Bolasie laughs off England calls: I'm DR Congo international!

Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie has laughed off England calls from former Arsenal star Paul Merson.

Merson even called for the 24-year-old to be considered for an England call-up recently, which pleased the boyhood Arsenal fan no end.

"That was funny - I've played three times for the Democratic Republic of Congo! But top players like Merson recognising me means I'm doing something right."
