Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson insists there's no problems with Mamadou Sakho.

Sakho's quotes this week have prompted speculation about his future concerned his stated ambition to play in the Champions League.

But Hodgson said: "I don't think you can expect them to give any other answer than the one they give.

"I don't know anything about the potential moves Mamadou is talking about, they were never brought to my attention.

"As a club we weren't faced with any bids to reject or accept. As far as I am concerned, this season his performances and his attitude and the way he has taken so much responsibility, has been exemplary.

"So I don't pay too much attention to the stories that come out of international camps because they are always biased in a certain way.

"Mamadou is committed here and we know that we will have that commitment for as long as he stays here.

"If he has ambitions to leave we have two years of a contract left and we will have to deal with the offers when they come in."
