Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew insists Emmanuel Adebayor could yet earn a new deal.

He has yet to decide on the future of Adebayor, who this week said he expects to leave the club over the summer, but praised the contribution the striker has made to their preparation.

"He's come up with some really good stuff this week, some messages to the players," said Pardew, 54. "He's been brilliant around the place.

"I haven't had those discussions with Ade (about his future), and I'll still sit down with him at the end of the year, shake his hand and see where we want to go. He'll have numerous options, so we'll see.

"He knows the pressure of playing at Real Madrid, so of a big final. That's a pressure we need to understand.

"Senior players like (Jason) Puncheon, (Yohan) Cabaye, (James) McArthur, (Yannick Bolasie and Wilfried Zaha) are going to be key players. Adebayor off the bench could play a significant role. In that group we have enough to win this game."
