Wan-Bissaka overjoyed with new Crystal Palace deal

Crystal Palace have rewarded young gun Aaron Wan-Bissaka with a brand new contract.

The 20-year-old has been a revelation this season after injuries forced Roy Hodgson to throw him in at right-back.

Excellent performances ensued - including against Tottenham and Liverpool - and the Englishman is delighted to have signed a new four-year deal.

He told the club's official website: "I'm really happy to extend my contract at Palace. I've been with the club since I was 11, which makes today even more special. I'd like to thank Roy, the coaches and the chairman for showing their belief in me, and I hope to repay them with my performances.

"This season has been an incredible one for me personally - of course it's not over yet. I've learned so much playing under Richard Shaw and Dave Reddington, and they played a massive part in me getting my first team chance under Roy, so I'd like to take this opportunity to thank them."
