Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock would not stand in the way of Ben Watson leaving Selhurst Park next month if the offer was right for the club.

The 22-year-old has been linked with a January transfer window switch to Norwich City and Reading, although Warnock insists there has been no firm interest in the former England Under-21 international.

The former Sheffield United manager told the South London Press: "I'm talking to Ben and we've got to decide what's best for both parties.

"He's doing well at the moment but there's been no interest. However, I wouldn't write off anybody going. Somebody could make an offer which is too good to turn down."

Midfielder Watson has made almost 150 appearances for Palace since making his debut for the club almost five years ago.
