Yesterday Patrick van Aanholt announced the birth of his son, Raven Reign Van Aanholt. While the Dutch footballer is likely itching to get back to playing football, the Premier League’s recent postponement will give him plenty of time to spend with the newest member of his family.
Naturally, Crystal Palace fans were some of the first ones to send their congratulations to the player. They are glad to see another Eagle join the Crystal Palace family.

Others hope that, in 18 years from now, young Raven Reign will be bursting down the wings with the Crystal Palace youth team. It appears as though they would like to see the infant grow up to continue his father’s legacy at the club.
Congrats Pat!! Can’t wait to see him doing bits down the wing in 18 years time

Will there be another Van Aanholt to play for Crystal Palace?
Yes
No
What do we think?
Perhaps Raven Reign will have an opportunity to join the club’s new Category 1 training facility in Bromley. For now, however, we just hope that the Van Aanholt family are enjoying their time with the newest member of their clan.
