Crystal Palace keeper Speroni eager to remain

Julian Speroni insists he would like to stay with Crystal Palace if the club sees fit to keep him.

The 34-year old Argentine goalkeeper is out of contract this summer after first arriving at Selhurst Park from Dundee back in 2004.

Speroni, who has since appeared in more than 340 matches for the Eagles, insists he would love to stay in south London but admits it is up to the club whether or not they re-sign him.

"That is my priority," he said. "At the moment I don't know what's going to happen.

"As a professional footballer I need to understand different situations and I can't say any more than that.

"As a player you prefer to sort things a lot earlier but sometimes you have to adapt to how the circumstances go.

"At the moment I just have to see what happens. I thank the fans for all their support and I know they want me to stay.

"I want to stay - and I think the club wants me to stay as well. We need to sort things out. When? I'm not really sure.

"There have been some talks but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon."
