He is Manchester City s killer, a new grassroots legend in the Premier League!

In the 2024/25 FA Cup final, Crystal Palace defeated strong rival Manchester City and won the first important championship in 120 years of team history. 26-year-old Three Lions international Eze wrote himself into the history of English football with a gold goal.

Gunners were made, and grassroots legend was forced to leave Arsenal youth training camp at the age of 13 because of "insufficient talent". In the following five years, he appeared in Fulham, Reading and Millwall echelons, and eventually failed to gain a foothold. At the age of 18, Eze almost decided to give up football and prepare to be a salesperson in Tesco supermarket to make a living. Just as Eze and the Green Field were getting farther and farther away, the Queen's Park Rangers gave him a chance to try out, and the fate of the grass-roots hero began to rotate at a faster speed.

In the summer window of 2020, Crystal Palace spent 17.8 million euros to make gold from the Championship. This deal caused huge controversy at the time, but Eze quickly shattered the doubts from the outside world with his outstanding performance. From becoming a top-notch midfielder in the Premier League, to receiving the baseball cap of the Three Lions, and now creating history for Crystal Palace, Eze's value has gradually risen to £55 million.

Kick the Europa League? Playing in the Champions League!

After winning the FA Cup, Crystal Palace has been qualified for the UEFA Cup next season. Glasner will lead the team to appear in the familiar field (helping Frankfurt win the championship that year). Of course, this magical coach may be ready to lose Eze. According to British media TEAMtalk, Newcastle United intends to introduce Eze for 70 million euros this summer. Eddie Howe regards it as an important part of the club's "2030 Plan". The green story of this grass-roots hero may open a more exciting new chapter.
