Palace plan talks with long serving keeper Speroni

Crystal Palace hope to discuss a new deal with Julian Speroni, but have no contract talks scheduled as yet. If no fresh terms are put in place, Speroni will drop into the free agent pool in June after ten years with the Eagles.

Co-chairman Steve Parish told the Croydon Advertiser: "There is no date set but I think everyone wants a little break.

"Tony (Pulis) is going to have a chat with Julian and talk to him about where he sees him and how he sees it going forward.

"We would all like to keep Julian at the club, of course we would. It's looking for a long-term plan as well.

"I think we would like to see Julian really staying at the club and having a future, maybe on the coaching side.

"He's a massive part of the fabric of Palace.

"Right now Julian wants to play and so he should, he's a fantastic keeper and a brilliant servant for the club.

"He needs to sit down with Tony in the first instance and then I'm sure I'll get involved from there."
