Gabor Kiraly

GABOR KIRALY has signed an extension to his current Crystal Palace contract.

The Hungarian number one, who has attracted the interest of Arsenal, has agreed a two-and-a-half extension to his present deal.

The 28-year-old signed a three-year contract after signing on a free from Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin in August.

He's proved to be one of the best keepers in the Premiership and has become a big hit with the fans, making 21 appearances.

"If I was not confident Palace would stay in the Premiership I would not be here," he told www.cpfc.co.uk. "We have one single target this season and that is to stay in this league, which must be achieved at all costs.

"I concentrate only on Crystal Palace. I wanted to stay here by all means. I have aims with Crystal Palace and I want to achieve them. To achieve these targets would be the greatest thing."
