Jobi McAnuff

JOBI MCANUFF has expressed his desire for a move to the Premiership.

The 24-year-old, who put in a number of impressive performances last season since his move from Cardiff City, has told Palace he wants to move to a Premiership club.

The player's representative Tony Finnigan confirmed to skysports.com that MCANUFF had handed in a transfer request.

"He has asked to leave, he has handed in his request, that I can confirm but I can't confirm whether it has been accepted or not."

"What I know is that this is purely on football, nothing to do with money at all.

"Peter Taylor completely understands as he was a footballer and so he knows what position the lad is in.

"JOBI has had seven years in The Championship and he wants to test himself at the highest level."
