'Eze coming in was big' - Experienced Palace star Cahill praises skillful midfielder

Published: March 09, 2021

Experienced English Premier League star Gary Cahill has mentioned Eberechi Eze among the exciting young players Crystal Palace have at their disposal.

The England U21 international midfielder of Nigerian descent joined the Eagles from Queens Park Rangers last August for a fee that could rise to £20 million.

Despite his young age and lack of experience in the top-flight before his move, Eze has shown his quality by putting in a string of eye-catching displays.

The Nigeria Football Federation target was named Crystal Palace's Player of the Month for November and January.

"[Eberechi] Eze coming in was big and gave him the opportunity to go express himself in the Premier League and to start learning in this league and develop as a player," Cahill said to Premier League Productions (via the official website of Crystal Palace).

"So that’s certainly a positive, and you can see the potential the boy has got is phenomenal so as long as he keeps progressing, it's great for himself and the club."

A crowd-pleaser, Eze has directly participated in six goals (3 goals, 3 assists) in 26 Premier League matches.
