Palace refuse to sell Johnson

ENGLAND striker Andrew Johnson wants to leave Crystal Palace but club chairman Simon Jordan has told him he cannot go.

Johnson, 24, believes he must move on to improve his chances of being in the England squad for next year's World Cup finals.

Palace were relegated to the Coca-Cola Championship after one year in the Premiership and Johnson said: "I must leave Crystal Palace. I want to play for England in the World Cup finals in Germany next summer. That's it in a nutshell."
