Burley: Nathaniel not ready for next level yet

Crystal Palace boss George Burley will not let Nathaniel Clyne leave Selhurst Park for at least another year. The youngster has been linked with a move to Premier League side Birmingham but Burley believes the England Under-19 international needs another season under his belt before he can move up to the next level. Burley told the South London Press: "There is no doubt that when any Premier League club is interested it's a wee bit distracting for the boy but he's focused that he'll be with us next season. "I've had a chat with the boy and he knows where I'm coming from. He needs at least another season - and hopefully longer - before he even thinks about going to a Premier League team. We want to keep him."
