Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has denied the club are shopping around Christian Benteke.

Reports broke yesterday suggesting Palace were ready to offload the Belgian, who has experienced a terrible 2017/18 campaign, in which he has scored just two goals.

"Christian has a contract with the club," said Hodgson.

"We're hoping he'll find the form he showed in the last period, and play an important part in us staying up.

"There's been no discussions in the club about Benteke leaving."
