Crystal Palace boss Hodgson keen to secure senior players to new deals

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is eager to secure his senior players to new contracts.

Hodgson is not expecting a busy January transfer window and has admitted he is happy with his squad.

Palace are however looking to tie some players down whose current deals expire in the summer.

Gary Cahill, Mamadou Sakho, Max Meyer, Andros Townsend, Patrick Van Aanholt, Christian Benteke, Vicente Guaita and James McArthur all have six months left on their contract.

Hodgson said: "Our squad is a good one at the moment and I'm happy with it.

"It's a full squad with no particular gaps to fill so if anything is going to happen it would be on the basis that some players leave us.

“If that moment arrives I'm sure it'll be a reason to sit down and talk about it, but there's no point at the moment talking about these things."
