Crystal Palace manager Hodgson shuts down 'linkage' with Arsenal midfielder Nelson

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has dismissed talk of a move for Arsenal midfielder Reiss Nelson.

With the England international potentially on the move, Hodgson has spoken out about any rumours regarding Palace's interest.

“I don't know anything about it, but that's the problem, these linkages," said Hodgson.

“[Sporting director] Doug Freedman gets a lot of calls [about players], a lot of people asking him questions and when the time is right – if it is something that he thinks is going to be interesting to me and the coaching staff – he brings it to us.

“I must honestly say that at the moment we haven't had any conversation about Reiss Nelson.

“But that doesn't mean that I don't think he's a good player and could be a good signing for any club which takes him."
