Julian Speroni

Julian Speroni has rejected rumours he is on his way out of Crystal Palace.

The Argentinain keeper was man-of-the-match in Palace's 2-1 Carling Cup win over Liverpool on Tuesday night.

But he is likely to lose his place to number one stopper Gabor Kiraly for Saturday's Championship match at Crewe.

And despite being linked with a move back to Scotland, Speroni wants to remain at Selhurst Park and fight for a first team place.

He said: "I know that Dundee United were looking for a keeper, but nobody has said anything to me. I want to play regular football, but I want to stay here. You never know what will happen.

"I want to play against Crewe on Saturday - but it is the manager's decision."
