Crystal Palace to reward Aaron Wan-Bissaka with new contract after impressive first season
Sponsored by
AARON WAN-BISSAKA will be rewarded with a new contract by Crystal Palace for his recent terrific form.
The young defender only made his professional debut late February but has been named the Eagles' Player of the Month for March.
The 20-year-old right-back made his debut in the 1-0 home defeat to Tottenham – and has kept his place since.
Wan-Bissaka also made his England Under-20 bow last month.
His current terms run until 2020 but it seems that Palace will reward his progression with improved terms.
The Croydon-born defender has been at Selhurst Park from the age of 11.
Injuries prompted boss Roy Hodgson to throw Wan-Bissaka into the Premier League fray - and he's not disappointed.
In March he started against Manchester United, Chelsea, Huddersfield Town and Liverpool, playing every minute bar the final couple against the Reds.
