Eberechi Eze: Crystal Palace’s latest signing is Roy Hodgson’s most expensive transfer
Eberechi Eze has joined the Eagles on a five-year deal, from EFL Championship side Queens Park Rangers for a transfer fee reported to be around £17 million, becoming the most expensive signing for club gaffer Roy Hodgson. The fee is speculated to be £16 million up front, with £4 million in add-ons.
“As a football club, I feel like there are great players here and it’s a brilliant opportunity for me to come and be with these players, to link up with them and to really push on,” Eze said following his arrival at Selhurst Park on Friday.
A youth product of Millwall FC, Eze joined QPR in 2016, and made his debut against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup. Across four seasons, the 22 year old has made 104 appearances for the Superhoops, and scored 30 goals. In the 2017-18 season he went on a loan spell to Championship club Wycombe Wanderers, where he made 20 appearances and netted 5 times.
Having a Nigerian background, Eze has trained with the Nigerian national football team. In 2018, he made his international debut with the England U20s, and a year later was picked for the England U21s.
“Eberechi is a player whose development we have followed closely,” Steve Parish, Crystal Palace chairman said regarding their newest signing, “we are delighted he has chosen to sign for us over the other clubs that were interested and we feel that this is the right club for him to continue his development.”
