“It [speculation] has obviously affected him because his form in the last few weeks has really been poor considering what he is capable of doing,” Hodgson said after Palace’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham on the final day of the Premier League season.
“It’s a dilemma for the club and a dilemma for him if he is so set on leaving. If he feels he just does not want to be with us any more, that would be sad.
“We still like him very much, we can’t make him like us. This is a situation that only he and the club can sort out. I don’t have an answer.”
