Crystal Palace defender Damien Delaney is set to sign a new contact with the Eagles after impressing manager Alan Pardew, according to reports.
The former Republic of Ireland star, 34, has struggled to feature this term after battling with injury.
However, the Daily Mirror report that Pardew has already decided that he wants Delaney to remain at Selhurst Park for another year.

The centre back has been a fine servant for the south London club, playing over 100 league games since signing from Ipswich Town in August 2012.
Delaney scored the consolation goal in Palace’s 5-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Capital One Cup earlier in the month.
Meanwhile, the Mirror say that goalkeeper Julian Speroni faces an anxious wait to see whether he will be offered a new deal.
The Argentine stopper, 36, has made over 400 appearances for Palace but is no longer a regular under Pardew, who has favoured Wayne Hennessey and Alex McCarthy this season.
