Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, former Premier League forward Marlon Harewood has suggested that Frank Lampard would be a good fit for Crystal Palace.

With Roy Hodgson's contract set to expire in the summer, the Eagles could be in the market for a new manager, and Lampard is one name that would be available. The 42-year-old was, of course, recently dismissed as Chelsea boss after overseeing a run of poor results and is now without a job.

It is not yet clear what Lampard's future plans are, but if he were to end up in the Selhurst Park dugout, Harewood is confident the ex-Chelsea and England midfielder would fit in well. On Lampard, Harewood told FFC:

"It'd be a decent thing for Lamps to come into if he's ready to come back into management. That'd be a very good club to come into, got some great players there. I think he'd go and complement it well.

"He's had a good experience of what he needs to do and what he didn't do and [the chance to] reflect on how he can better himself because you always do that [after being sacked."

The former West Ham striker concluded by saying: "Yeah, it would be a good fit."

Hodgson has done well since arriving at Selhurst Park back in 2017, keeping Palace away from any sort of real relegation trouble. Under the former England manager, the south London club have managed to earn 11th, 12th and 14th-placed finishes, firmly retaining their status as a Premier League outfit.

However, change could be on the horizon, with the 73-year-old's contract almost up, and Lampard could be a name worth exploring for Palace should he still be available.
