Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed that Scott Dann will not be leaving the club this month.
The experienced centre-back was linked with Premier League strugglers Fulham earlier this week, with Claudio Ranieri looking to bolster his side’s survival chances.
Dann recently made his return to the first-team fold after a sustained period on the sidelines. He suffered a long-term injury in Palace’s clash with Manchester City on the final day of 2017.
However, links with Fulham saw his time at Selhurst Park touted with an abrupt end, with the January transfer window drawing to a close on Thursday evening.
Hodgson, though, appears to have Dann in his plans still and ruled out the possibility of any senior member of the Eagles squad leaving before the window slams shut.
Speaking ahead of his side’s trip to Southampton on Wednesday night, as quoted by The Mirror, he said:
We’re not in a position where we can let players go. We’ve let eight go since the summer, we’ve trimmed down enormously. We’re not looking to move players out. If anything, we’ve got a vacancy for someone to come in if the right man turns up.
