Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer insists Joel Ward is not for sale.

The Express & Star says De Boer has stated that Ward, who was linked with a move to West Brom, still has a part to play at Selhurst Park.

The defender was linked with Albion after reports suggested that he'd turned down a new deal with the Eagles last week.

Tony Pulis knows the 27-year-old from his time at Palace.
