Eberechi Eze, a Crystal Palace forward who impressed with a standout performance in Tuesday’s 2-1 EFL Cup victory over Queens Park Rangers, received high praise from his manager, Oliver Glasner, who asked rhetorically, “Who is better?” highlighting Eze’s exceptional goal-scoring ability. Eze had been the subject of significant transfer interest over the summer but chose to remain at Selhurst Park.
The England international drew interest from elite clubs such as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal, but his £68 million price tag likely turned off potential suitors. Eze, who has already scored two goals and assisted three times in six games, is anticipated to be a vital player when the January transfer window opens, with Premier League opponents potentially renewing their interest.
Glasner praised Eze’s ability to consistently make an impact on the field after the win against QPR, where he contributed an assist and a goal: “Eze is always on the pitch because he has the knack for scoring. While sometimes our play was overly complex, Eze’s sharp shooting proved vital. His quality is evident, and though he’s had some unlucky moments, his talent continues to shine.
