Crystal Palace have signed Ajax defender Jairo Riedewald on a five-year contract.

The 20-year old Ajax youth product made 93 appearances since making his first-team debut in 2013.

It was Eagles boss Frank de Boer who handed the versatile defender his start at the Eredivisie club and now the pair have the chance to be reunited at Selhurst Park.

"I am very pleased to be joining Crystal Palace and after speaking with the gaffer a couple of weeks ago I was delighted to have the opportunity to come over and play in the Premier League," Riedewald told the club's official website.

“The Premier League is a great competition to be involved in and it is a great opportunity to be working under Frank de Boer once again having been with him at Ajax.

"I look forward to meeting my new team mates and then getting the chance to be out on the training ground and getting ready for the new season."

De Boer added: "Jairo Riedewald is a player I know well through my time at Ajax and I'm glad that he's now coming to join us at Crystal Palace.

"He will be an excellent addition to our squad, Jairo is a young player but already has a lot of experience. I know he is looking forward to playing in the Premier League."
