Sunday 7 April 2019 12:29, UK
Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka has signed a long-term contract which will keep him at the club until June 2022.
Wan-Bissaka made his first-team debut under manager Roy Hodgson against Tottenham in February.
The 20-year-old has been rewarded for some excellent performances for Palace and was named as the club's player of the month for March.
Speaking to the club website Wan-Bissaka said: "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.
"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."
Palace took a step towards Premier League safety when they won 3-2 against Brighton last Saturday. Hodgson's side are back in league action on Saturday against Watford at Vicarage Road.
