On signing for Crystal Palace, Eze said: "As a football club, I feel like there are great players here.
Â
"It’s a brilliant opportunity for me to come and be with these players, to link up with them and to really push on."
Â
Â
Chairman Steve Parish, added: "Eberechi is a player whose development we have followed closely.
Â
"We are delighted he has chosen to sign for us over the other clubs that were interested.
Â
"We feel that this is the right club for him to continue his development.
