Crystal Palace keeper Dean Henderson believes that the Europa League would be “devalued” if the club are dropped from the continent’s second-tier competition as they await their fate at the hands of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Dean Henderson has further endeared himself to Crystal Palace fans after putting £1,000 behind the bar of a nearby pub following his heroics in the side’s Community Shield victory over Liverpool.

Arne Slot’s summer spending spree looked to have paid immediate dividends with two debutants on target, but it was Dean Henderson who was the hero as Crystal Palace beat Liverpool to lift the Community Shield at Wembley.
