Crystal Palace

Last week there were reports suggesting that MARC EDWORTHY could be making a return to crystal Palace. Today we received the news that EDWORTHY denied that he wants a summer switch back to Selhurst Park.

The former Eagles defender was linked with a return to the club before the transfer deadline, but Coventry boss Gordon Strachan was not ready to let EDWORTHY go.

EDWORTHY was then linked with a move to Palace in the summer but the player denied any rumours suggesting the deal was done.

EDWORTHY said: "As far as the link goes with Palace it is certainly news to me and I am not interested in going back there. I do not know where these reports have come from, it is probably because I am in the last year of my contract.

"It is up to the manager to decide what happens at the end of the season, but I have been here for three years now and he knows what I am capable of doing."
