Tony Pulis delays talk about Julian Speroni extension

Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis has refused to confirm whether Julian Speroni will be offered a new deal by the club.

Speroni's current contract expires in the summer but some reports in recent weeks have suggested that he could be given the chance to extend his stay at Selhurst Park.

Pulis, who signed Welsh goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey in January, insists that talks will not take place before the end of the season.

"I see Julian playing the next nine games, hopefully keeping us in the Premier League - from that point onwards we'll talk," Pulis told the South London Press.

Speroni joined Palace from Dundee in 2004 and has been ever-present in the team on their return to the Premier League this season.
