Crystal Palace manager George Burley insists he knows nothing of any reported interest from Celtic in goalkeeper Julian Speroni.[LNB] The Argentine shot-stopper has been linked with a move to Parkhead following Artur Boruc's switch to Fiorentina last week.[LNB]Speroni was one of Palace's stand out players last season and was a virtual ever-present for the club, missing just one Championship match.[LNB]The 31-year-old has now been linked with a Parkhead switch, but Burley, who is firmly against losing his prized asset, insists he remains the club's No.1.[LNB]"Unfortunately in football you get speculation, especially if you've got good players and Julian is a top-class keeper," Burley told the South London press.[LNB]"But I don't know anything about Celtic.[LNB]"Julian is first-choice and we've got Lewis Price as our number two. Julian is a model pro and showed on Saturday [against Chelsea] what a fine keeper he is."
