Former Blues boss George Burley insists that keeper Julian Speroni will be part of his Crystal Palace side next season and says he is yet to speak to released Town glovesman Richard Wright. The former England international was understood to be on Burley’s radar with Speroni tipped to join either West Ham or QPR.
Burley said: "I haven't spoken to Richard. We're only looking for a number two and I don't think he would be interested in coming as number two.
"Julian Speroni is very much a Crystal Palace player. I know there has been speculation about a possible transfer but I haven't heard anything."
Wright, 32, has also been linked with West Ham and League One Charlton, having formally ended his ties with Town when his contract expired yesterday.
Full-back David Wright agreed to join the Eagles on a two-year deal earlier in the week, also having been released by the Blues.
