Transfer report: Sunderland reject Crystal Palace bid for Patrick van Aanholt

Sunderland have rejected a bid from Crystal Palace for full-back Patrick van Aanholt, according to Black Cats boss David Moyes.

Palace are understood to have tabled an offer in the region of £7million for the Dutchman, who worked with manager Sam Allardyce during his time on Wearside last season.

However, the Black Cats are in no mood to do business.

Asked if a bid had been turned down, Moyes replied: "Yes, that's correct.

"We have actually had a few bids for quite a lot of our players because we have got some good players here and maybe people think we could be easy pickings.
