Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson believes the club will be able to keep Wilfried Zaha this summer.

Palace owe their Premier League status in-part to the wonderful performances from Zaha during the season.

And their abysmal record when the player is absent is an indication of his importance to the team's attack.

But there are bigger clubs who may want to sign the Ivory Coast international in the summer.

"He must be very pleased that so many people are mentioning his name," Hodgson said in his pre-match press conference.

"You can't do anything about speculation and it always crops up.

"I am quite sanguine about it all, and like the fans and the players, want to keep him, and believe that we will have something quite serious to offer ourselves.

"I don't blame other clubs for coveting him, but I believe he will still be our player next season."
