Eberechi Eze completes £12m Crystal Palace move

England-born Nigerian midfielder, Eberechi Eze has completed his move to London side, Crystal Palace from rivals Queens Park Rangers in deal believed to be worth £12m.

The attacking player was instrumental for Queen Park Rangers last season as they finished 13th in the league.

Eze was one brightest young talent in the Championship last season, scoring 14 goals and giving 8 assists

Eze has been the subject to plenty of transfer speculation during the transfer window, with interest from West Ham and more recently Fulham driving interest in the player, Brila,net reports.

QPR’s number 10 was reportedly a target for Palace back in January too, although the clubs failed to reach an agreement on his valuation at the time. That impasse has now been overcome, with the South East Londoner signing a five-year deal at the club.

Palace have been in need of attacking options following a disappointing end to last season, which saw Roy Hodgson’s side fall to seven defeats in eight, with a draw against Tottenham Hotspur on the last day of the season arresting that poor run of form.

The side was also one of the lowest-scoring teams in the Premier League last season.

Eze was born in Greenwich, England to Nigerian parents and is eligible to play for both countries.
