You’re much appreciated at Palace! Thanks for all your hard work. It’s a pleasure watching you play when I get over from Ireland to Selhurst once or twice during the season! More good years ahead I hope.#skerries eagle

What do we think?
Van Aanholt has made 184 Premier League appearances to date and joined Crystal Palace from Sunderland back in January 2017 in a deal reportedly worth £9.45m. The player made his debut in the competition for Chelsea under Carlo Ancelotti during a 5-0 win over Portsmouth in 2010 (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
At the time, the left-back was 19 years, 6 months and 23 days old. As well as having played for the Eagles and Chelsea – he made 95 appearances for Sunderland. English football is currently suspended until at the earliest, 30 April in order to prevent the spread of the virus that has brought the entire nation to a halt.
