“I’m not ruling out the fact that something like that could come up when we sit down – it would be wrong to do that,” said Hodgson.“The point is that no one at the club has really got any interest in selling Wilf Zaha, so we’re rather hoping that we won’t get those offers. But I’m realistic and it would be a club issue.“If the bids don’t come to me any more, the bids come through the chairman himself (Steve Parish) or through (sporting director) Doug Freedman, if one day they call me in and say ‘Look, this is the situation’ – I shall be in their hands basically.“I don’t have the power to veto any decisions of that nature.”Zaha is Palace’s talisman and has attracted attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs2

Zaha, in his second permanent spell at Selhurst Park following a short unsuccessful stint with Manchester United, has contributed nine league goals and three assists for Palace this term.While former England boss Hodgson does not wish to see the Ivory Coast international depart south London, he believes it is important for footballers to be ambitious.The 71-year-old wants all of his squad to aspire to play Champions League football and feels it is “not an impossible dream” for them to do it with Palace.“I think if you’re in the Premier League and, at the moment, you find yourself sitting in 11th position, I’d like to think all of the players would be able to say they’d like to play in the Champions League,” said Hodgson. “Maybe even with Crystal Palace because we’re a good way away from it but it’s not an impossible dream.“And if you’re a good player in the Premier League you know there’s always going to be a lot of people looking at you, possibly coveting you.“But the bottom line with Wilf is that he signed a long-term contract at the end of last season, he was well rewarded for that, he made it clear that his heart is with Crystal Palace and so we’ve got to make certain and hope that is the case and that we will keep him for the years to come.”
