Alan Pardew admits he has ambitions beyond Crystal Palace.

Despite his side sitting seventh in the Premier League, above the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea, the 54-year-old says he wants the chance to manage at a "big club", in comments that will worry Palace fans.

"It is an ambition of mine," Pardew told BT Sport.

"I won't ever let it rest until I'm done, to get to one of the big clubs, because I want a bigger percentage chance of winning.

"Why wouldn't I? I envy those managers that are there, I really do.

"I really envy Brendan (Rodgers) and Jose (Mourinho) and everybody else. But that doesn't stop my determination to try and turn them over."
