Fulham boss Roy Hodgson isn't counting on loyalty to convince Bobby Zamora to stay at Craven Cottage.

The 62-year-old does not believe the 6ft striker owes him any debt of gratitude but is nevertheless determined to keep hold of the former England Under-21 international.

"We'll tell those that do bid, hopefully, that he is not for sale and we want to keep him here and we hope he wants to stay with us as well," said Hodgson.

"I don't know that players owe coaches. That would be a new one on the agenda. I think coaches owe players, but players do not owe coaches."
