Roy Hodgson has played down suggestions that Crystal Palace could lose Wilfried Zaha to either Everton or Liverpool this summer.

According to a report from the Liverpool Echo, Hodgson reassured Palace supporters that the player is under contract at the club for another four years.

What people seem to forget with Wilf is he has got a four-year contract. There is speculation every year around Messi and Ronaldo too. He is our player for the next four years and the club has got no interest or desire to sell him.

Both Merseyside clubs are interested in the Ivorian, while Borussia Dortmund are also said to be keen on the player.

Recent reports have suggested that Dortmund were ready to offer a player in exchange to help seal a deal.

Andre Schurrle is said to be a potential option that Dortmund could add into the deal.

The report claims that Palace value Zaha at close to £70 million after he played such a key role in keeping them in the division last season.

Hodgson has previously admitted that he would be working on a small budget this summer, so selling Zaha may give him some room to manoeuvre in the market.
