Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says there's been no word about staying on next season.

It's been suggested Hodgson could remain to help the new manager once the appointment is made.

He said: "I don't have any thoughts on it - it's news to me. I have no idea where that story came from. I refuse on this occasion to make comments on what will happen with me at the end of May."

Hodgson also had a word for goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

He also said: "He's done extremely well. His performances in the Leeds first half and the Southampton first half show we have a top-class goalkeeper - the club knew that when they signed him. He's had stiff competition from other clubs having made his way into the England squad. We knew we were signing someone who could compete strongly with Vicente (Guaita)."
