Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has played down speculation linking the London club with a move for former Super Eagles forward Victor Moses in the January transfer window.
Moses alongside, Jermaine Defoe and Yaya Toure have been reportedly linked with a January move to the Selhurst Park in London.
However, Hodgson has suggested that they are not interested in signing the winger or any either of Toure and Defoe at the moment.
”I don’t hear them, because no one at the club mentions them to me,” Hodgson told reporters at Friday’s press conference ahead of the home game vs Leicester City.
”To hear them, I would probably have to read what you are writing and the information you are getting from players’ agents to persuade you to write it. But they are not names we have discussed.”
Pressed for further details, the ex-England manager reiterated that Moses, Defoe, and Toure are not among the players on their wish list next month at this moment.
He added: ”If the day ever comes when the people within the club put names like that in front of them, I’ll discuss them.
”But you are asking me if it is a fact we are discussing them, and I am saying as a fact, we’re not discussing these names”.
