It's looking less and less likely now that it will be Ambrose!
************************************************** ******8
GEORGE Burley remains optimistic that key man Darren Ambrose will sign a new contract at Crystal Palace.
The Eagles top scorer last season has been continually linked with a transfer to Queens Park Rangers after a £750,000 bid was tabled by Palace's former boss Neil Warnock way back in May.
However, with CPFC 2010 potentially just days away from taking Palace out of administration the Eagles are now on a much firmer financial footing and have no need to sell.
Burley has said that Ambrose is keen to stay at Selhurst Park and a new improved deal has been offered to the player.
Ambrose currently has one year left on his Palace contract but the Eagles chief is confident that he will extend that in the near future.
The former Ipswich, Newcastle and Charlton star again displayed his goal-scoring capabilities during Palace's tour of the south west last week, scoring four goals in the two pre-season friendlies with Dorchester and Exeter.
And Burley is in no doubt just how crucial Ambrose is to his plans this season.
"Darren looked very sharp," he said. "I know him better than most having brought him through as a 17-year-old at Ipswich and make no mistake the boy is a key player for us.
"Hopefully we are now not too far away to agreeing a new contract with him now.
"He scored 20 goals last season and wants to improve that this time around.
