Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has made clear he'd like to keep hold of Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

Batshuayi scored five Premier League goals in 11 top-flight games for the south London outfit — including a brace in the club's final game of the season against Bournemouth.

Hodgson said: "We don't know [if Chelsea's transfer ban will affect a move]. All I know is if Michy Batshuayi is going to be available and if our club could bring him here; either on-loan or buying him I would be very happy with that and I know Michy himself would be happy.

"When players belong to another club you can say "we would like him" but then there has to be an agreement struck between the two clubs."

The 25-year-old said he is not sure where his future lies but did hint at being open to staying at the club.

He said: "No [I have not spoken to Chelsea about my future].

"I will go back to Chelsea to decide but at the moment I do not know more.

"Of course [I have enjoyed my loan]. I am very happy because I had never scored here at this stadium [Selhurst Park]. It was my first goals at Crystal Palace's stadium. Of course, I am very happy to have come here, it has been a good experience."
