Palace, who are 14th in the Premier League, missed out on two potential signings in.

And they have only spent £5m on new recruits in three windows.

Hodgson said: “The club have presented me with a contract, which I got just before we went away last week.

“If I’m going to stay it’s because I believe the funds will be made available.

“And we realise, Steve Parish, I and the American owners, you cannot make those improvements to your team without spending.

“We want to show the fans we’re moving forward and bringing in fresh blood.”
