Roy Hodgson

We round up the week's Crystal Palace transfer rumours and gossip.

Palace boss Roy Hodgson says Arsenal are yet to make a bid "anywhere near Wilfried Zaha's valuation" having reportedly offered £40m. He said: "I don't think Arsenal have actually made a bid that has come anywhere near our valuation. I'm sure the player realises that if someone's going to take him away from us, he'll expect clubs to pay the market value. Until someone does that, there's not much to discuss regarding Wilf."

Chilean right-back Paulo Diaz is attracting interest from Palace. The 24-year-old currently plies his trade with Saudi side Al Ahli and is also being tracked by River Plate and Brazilian and Mexican clubs. (La Tercera)

Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos continues to be linked with a switch to Selhurst Park. The 23-year-old hot-headed Colombian even tweeted a story about a move to South London before later deleting it. (De Primeira)

Watford have stolen a march on Palace by holding talks with Frenchman Allan Saint-Maximin. The Eagles and Newcastle have been looking at the 22-year-old Nice winger who would cost around €20m. (France Football)

Will Palace be in your accumulator bet next season? If Zaha stays and the Eagles bring in a quality striker like Morelos, then you've got to be confident of picking a win.
