This campaign, he netted two Premier League goals and sent six assists. Those stats hardly tell the story of his effect on the game. His recent shows have been a lesson, painful though it’s been, to be reminded of just what he was bringing to this table.
“Ebs has had a strange season. He’s not had many goals in the Premier League but so many chances, disallowed goals… but he always keeps going. He’s struggled with some strange injuries. His first goal for England means a lot for him. He always has the confidence. We all know he’s an amazing finisher. We need this quality.” – Oliver Glasner
Eze’s journey over some tough stretches, including injury setbacks and close calls, is a powerful testament to his strength, focus and purpose. His impact on Crystal Palace’s FA Cup run highlights his importance to the overall team.
