They are currently on 36 points in the Premier League with ten games to go.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the club are keen to see him remain for another season despite his age. He is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to sign a fresh deal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"QqvjlUtnTSBwSjC8ahDBfA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1204118462\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'QqvjlUtnTSBwSjC8ahDBfA',sig:'eCBRM-5Js392ygV_rDXbHAIkiEvNxAkmb3d_xroP0HI=',w:'594px',h:'395px',items:'1204118462',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After recording their best season to date so far in the Premier League, the Crystal Palace squad are keen to see Roy Hodgson remain with the club, according to Jack Rosser of the Evening Standard.
