Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has shrugged off talk of losing Wilfried Zaha in January.

The Ivory Coast star is under contract until 2023, but fresh transfer speculation surfaced linking the 27-year-old with a move to Chelsea, with their transfer ban now over.

"As I've said on many occasions, when you have a player of that quality, it's not surprising when they're coveted," Hodgson told reporters.

"But he's a Crystal Palace player, he's under contract to us. No one here is anxious or desirous to sell him. But sometimes bids come in which are very difficult for the clubs to deal with.

"The speculation doesn't interest me at all. I've been here two and a bit years now and there's been speculation about him from the very moment I stepped through the door.

"He's still playing for Crystal Palace and still doing a wonderful job."
