Crystal Palace confirm multiple contract extensions as talks with Cheikhou Kouyaté continue

Crystal Palace have confirmed James McArthur, Nathaniel Clyne, James Tomkins and Jordan Ayew have all signed one-year contract extensions.

The quartet were all due to be out of contract at the end of the month but have now extended their stays at Selhurst Park after a successful first season under the stewardship of Patrick Vieira.

Palace have also confirmed talks are ongoing with Cheikhou Kouyaté, whose deal is set to expire at the end of this month.

A statement from Steve Parish on the club’s official website read: “It remains of pivotal importance to get the right balance of youth and experience in any Premier League squad, and I’m delighted that we’ve been able to ensure that these long-standing and experienced players in Jordan, Nathaniel, James and James remain with us for the upcoming campaign.

“Each of them played an enormous role in the progress we’ve all enjoyed in the last year, and we very much expect similar contributions for the season ahead.”
