Eberechi Eze is a professional footballer who currently plays for Crystal Palace in the Premier League – and will be heading to Euro 2024 with England.
Eze made a name for himself at Championship club Queens Park Rangers before joining Palace for £12 million in 2020.
He showed signs of promise in his first two seasons at Selhurst Park but in the last two years, he has taken his game to another level. The attacking midfielder is now recognised as one of the most exciting players to watch in the Premier League.
Eze thoroughly deserved to be included in England’s 26-man squad for Euro 2024 and Three Lions fans will now be hoping that he can perform on the international stage. TBR Football takes a look into the life of the Palace and England player.
