Middlesbrough, Reading target Watson wants Palace stay

Crystal Palace midfielder Ben Watson insists he isn't interested in joining the raft of Premiership clubs interested in him.

Reading, Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough have all been linked with Watson, who told BBC London 94.9: "My future is here. But it's not down to myself. If something happens it's not that I want to leave.

"I'm not going to go in banging the gaffer's door down saying that I want to leave, I'll never do that."

The former England Under-21 international added: "Hopefully at the end of the season we'll be in the Premier League with Palace."
