Neil Warnock has vowed winger Yannick Bolasie will not leave Crystal Palace during the January transfer window.
The Congo international played a starring role for the Eagles in the 3-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday, a result that saw Palace climb out of the bottom three in the Premier League.
That performance led to Bolasie being linked with a move to Anfield but Warnock is adamant the player they signed from Bristol City for £500,000 two years ago will not be leaving.
"He won't be going anywhere in January. No chance," Warnock said ahead of the clash with Swansea City on Saturday.
"He's a great lad. Top clubs won't know what he can do and what he can't do. How can they come in for him?
"I think he's made to measure for Palace. That type of club, the stage, the fans.
"It's can he keep the consistency now? We've got three games in a week.
"We need him to perform as he did against Liverpool in those games."
Victory over Liverpool took the pressure off Warnock, whose recent frustrations got the better of him when he was fined £9,000 for criticising officials after the defeat by Chelsea.
That led to an apparent rebuke from chairman Steve Parish, although it appeared to be news to Warnock, who was more worried about having to hand over a similar amount of money in extra fines to his wife.
"It is news to me, that," said Warnock of Parrish's comments. "If my chairman says that I'll agree with it. I did tell him I was making an effort now after the fine.
"I can't afford to keep giving my wife the same amount of money as the fine; it's a double whammy for me.
"I remember before I was charged my wife saying: 'don't you ever give an interview like Garry Monk's just done - I will leave you'.
"I said: 'darling, he's not been charged'. He's obviously very clever and knows what to say. I'll have to ask him his advice."
