England midfielder Eberechi Eze was linked with a step up from Crystal Palace last summer. The attacking midfielder, who has a proven track record in the Premier League and has been one of the best attacking players in the league, has remained in London to play this season.
A move that did not go through may become a reality over the next year, as France international Michael Olise, who was highly disruptive on the right wing at the time, has left for Bayern Munich.
According to international media outlet CaughtOffside, Liverpool and Arsenal have expressed interest in the England midfielder, who has a £60 million release clause, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur The player’s unique step dribbling style is a unique feature of his game.
His unique step dribbling plays off opposing defenders, and his relaxed rhythm quickly picks up a gear to create chances for his teammates. He is also very accurate with his free kicks and has scored a number of goals from outside the penalty area.
He has been superb so far this season, with six goals and nine assists in 32 games, and is ready for a move to a strong club.
With his contract remaining until June 2027, it is unlikely that the fee will be lower than his release clause and any club wishing to acquire him will have to pay £60 million.
However, a move away from Crystal Palace is also likely to be straightforward this summer. With Marc Guehi, Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta all rumoured to be on the way out, it would be too risky to let go of a mainstay in good time.
The club, which has been out of form in the first half of the season and has been involved in a relegation battle, will they replace the mainstays of their squad in this summer’s transfer window…?
