Eagles play down talk of Reds move

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish said he was bemused at reports linking Liverpool with the Eagles' talented youngsters Wilfried Zaha and Jon Williams, writes Daniel Jones.

According to a story in one national paper yesterday Kenny Dalglish is lining up a move for the teenage pair at the end of the season.

But Parish said he had no contact from anyone at Anfield and insisted neither player were for sale.

"I have heard absolutely nothing about it," he told the Advertiser. "I don't understand where these stories are coming from. Both of those players are under long contracts and are going nowhere.

"If Liverpool really are interested perhaps it would be better for them to pick up the phone and give us a call."

Zaha has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs this season after impressing in his breakthrough year at Palace.

The talented young winger has been a regular in the Eagles line-up and has been one of the finds of the Championship season.

Wales U21 star Williams, however, is yet to even make his Palace debut.
