Frank de Boer's ill-fated reign at Crystal Palace is all but a distant memory.

The former Netherlands international was hired in 2017 to take over the vacancy at Selhurst Park, but in the end it was an appointment that turned into a nightmare rather quickly. Incredibly, he lasted just 77 days at the club, which saw him manage just four Premier League games - they all ended in defeats in which Palace failed to score.

That did give him enough time to make a few signings though, and former Ajax player Jairo Riedewald was one of them. The then-20-year-old came from the famed academy of de Godenzonen, having already made 93 appearances there by the time he made the switch to the Premier League.

Unfortunately, it is a transfer that hasn't gone the way Steve Parish and co. will have hoped, much like De Boer. He has featured a paltry 31 times during his time at the club, failing to put together a consistent run of games. Injuries haven't helped the matter, but still - for the £7.9m they paid for him, they will have expected at least a bit more.

Even despite him signing at such a young age, that didn't stop Palace giving him a considerable wage of £55,000 a week. For context, only seven players were on higher wages at the time of his arrival. Plenty of others have overtaken him now, but that is still a considerable amount of money.

Two years and 33 weeks at the club have seen the 23-year-old pocket £7.5m. Combined with his transfer fee, he has cost Parish £15.4m, which works out at just shy of £500,000 per Premier League appearance - a huge amount of money for a side that has spend just over £17m in the last two seasons.

Now, Riedewald continues to find himself on the fringes of Roy Hodgson's starting XI, but it is hard to imagine him breaking into the side on a regular basis as it stands.

Much like De Boer's arrival, this is a recruit that Parish must answer for.

Meanwhile, Palace continue to track this centre-forward.
