Alan Pardew denies reports linking Crystal Palace legend Julian Speroni with move away

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew says there has been no contact from any other Premier League clubs over the availability of goalkeeper Julian Speroni.

The Argentinean has been linked with a move to Newcastle in January, who are without Tim Krul for the rest of the season.

Speroni has lost his place in the Palace team to Wayne Hennessey but Pardew insists he wants to keep the club's talismanic stopper.

"I've seen that [rumour] in the paper with my old club Newcastle interested and others interested in Speroni but we've had no phonecalls or contact with any other clubs," said Pardew.

"We are always going to be in the frame with other clubs because we've got three great goalies, which is a real asset for us.

"It's an asset that I will be reluctant to weaken because it's nice to have all three of them here."
