Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is delighted with the form of Jeffrey Schlupp this season.

Ahead of tonight's clash with West Ham, Hodgson was asked about Schlupp's versatility, with the Ghanaian transitioning from full-back to winger to frontman at times during his Palace career, showcasing his attacking competence with an equaliser against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Palace manager said: "I don't know about the most versatile [player I've managed] but he's up there, of course. We've never really seen him as an out and out defender. I know he had a couple of spells before I came as a full-back and even once or twice during my time as a full-back.

"But we've never thought of him long term as a defender. We regard him as an attacking player which means he plays across the midfield, which he's more than capable of doing. At the moment he's playing on the right side and able to cut in on his left foot because we want [Eberechi] Eze to do the same thing on the other side but I could quite easily switch those two over. I don't think it would make a vast difference to our game.

"I'm just pleased for him after spells of injury… he seems to be in a good place. He's not injured, he's certainly in good form and all the skill of Jeffrey Schupp is still there."
