Addicks hope for Zheng deal
Charlton Athletic, 15:37, June 10, 2009 ,
Charlton boss Phil Parkinson says he is locked in talks with Zheng Zhi and will do all he can to keep the China international.
Following relegation to League One it was thought the out-of-contract midfielder would be the first heading for the exit door but Parkinson has not given up all hope of keeping him.
"The bottom line is he's out of contract and he's got a right to speak to other clubs," said Parkinson. "He's in a free market but we will try to keep him.
"If there's a big gap between what he wants and what we can offer, then we'll shake hands and wish him all the best. But it's only right that we sit down with him, have a chat and see what can be done."
