Crystal Palace have confirmed that goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has left the club following the recent expiry of his contract, with the Eagles immediately adding to their squad options with the signing of another stopper, Remi Matthews. Hennessey has been linked with a move to several Premier League clubs, with Aston Villa and Chelsea reportedly interested. Competition for places would have been even greater, too, after Palace also announced the signing of Matthews on a two-year deal. The 27-year-old shot-stopper most recently played for Sunderland, but has acquired a range of experience across the Football League. Back-up goalkeeper Stephen Henderson has also left the club after two years with Palace.
