Former Crystal Palace star Yannick Bolasie has compared Wilfried Zaha to Neymar.

The Ivory Coast winger is the best player at Palace, as evidenced by the big clubs that come in for him each summer.

While he may not have the goal and assist contributions or accolades of someone like Neymar, Bolasie sees similarities in the two.

"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.

"When I said Wilf has a Neymar kind of ability, people were like: 'Nah, nah, nah,' but then they started looking and saying: 'Actually, he does.'

"Every season for me, he's come out and proved he's got better. Just in different types of ways. He's setting up teammates, setting up people to score, he's releasing passes quicker than I've seen him release passes before.

"I'm seeing an improvement in his whole game, he's not just this dribbler that everyone thinks he is; he can see a pass and a through ball."
