# Why Aaron Wan-Bissaka must stay at Crystal Palace

**After almost eleven years at Crystal Palace, fame has finally caught up to Aaron Wan-Bisaaka.**

Touted as one of the emerging young talents in England, the right-back is now hot properly for the Eagles following his meteoric rise in South London. Indeed, many clubs are reportedly – according to [the Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/8410642/aaron-wan-bissaka-borussia-dortmund-crystal-palace-chelsea-man-city-transfer/) – eying to sign him up and Wan-Bissaka has a personal decision to make.

Clearly, when [linked](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/8410642/aaron-wan-bissaka-borussia-dortmund-crystal-palace-chelsea-man-city-transfer/) to teams such as Manchester City, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund, there’s always going to be a temptation to depart. However, we think he should stay, and here’s why.

He’s a Crystal Palace man through and through having being handed all his success by the side he’s playing since age 11. A Londoner by birth, it could be difficult for him to blend in somewhere else and get the same reception he gets from his fans. The right-back still has much to learn and patience is not something a big side will give him.

Wan-Bissaka’s been a relentless hard worker on the right flank and gave a fantastic account of himself in difficult situations. Not only has he helped Palace keep almost eight clean-sheets this season while averaging 3.8 tackles and 2.4 interceptions per game [(stats from WhoScored)](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331924/Show/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka), he’s also been an asset moving forward.

The right-back doesn’t shy away from attacking, with his electric pace and impressive dribbling ability causing trouble. While he’s only had one assist so far, Wan-Bissaka averages almost 33 passes per game[(stats from Premier League)](https://www.premierleague.com/players/14164/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka/stats?co=1&se=210) while creating quite a few glaring chances now and then.

After a decade with the Eagles, Wan-Bissaka is in a crossroads of his career. Leaving the side which handed him opportunities would be unwise, as he still has much to repay Crystal Palace for allowing him to fly high.
