Wayne Hennessey in line for new Crystal Palace deal

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is set to sign a new deal and end speculation of a potential transfer away from the club in the summer, News Shopper reports.

Hennessey has been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park in recent weeks amid the news that Getafe goalkeeper Vicente Guaita had signed a pre-contract with the club and was set to join in the summer.

However Hennessey, whose deal expires in the summer, now looks set to extend his stay with the Eagles and sign a new deal.

The Welsh international has firmly secured his place as Palace’s first choice goalkeeper since Julian Speroni’s season-ending injury but Hennessey will now have to battle Guaita next season for that number one shirt.

Hennessey’s fine form has helped Palace move six points clear of the drop with three games to go and the side now look likely to extend their stay in the Premier League for another season.

matchday.
