Gabor Kiraly has signed a new Palace contract that will keep the keeper and his lucky trackie bottoms at Selhurst Park for another two-and-a-half years.

Kiraly’s agent has been making mischief in recent months, regularly claiming that sides such as Arsenal were keeping tabs on the Hungarian stopper.

But that speculation is now at an end, with the goalie committing himself to the Eagles until 2007.

Kiraly told the official Palace site he was confident his contract extension would see him continue to play Premiership football in SE25.

"I have aims with Crystal Palace and I want to achieve them," he told the official site. "To achieve these targets would be the greatest thing.

"If I was not confident Palace would stay in The Premiership, I would not be here.

"We have one single target this season and that is to stay in this league, which must be achieved at all costs."
