‘Ebere Eze is a UEFA Champions League player,’ says former Liverpool player, Danny Murphy
Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy has told Crystal Palace Nigeria-born midfielder, Eberechi Eze is destined to leave the club for a bigger club.
Eze shine in Palace’s victory against West Ham recently and Murphy, a former Liverpool player says the British-Nigerian was “on a different planet” in the game last Sunday,
“He is a Champions League player – I’m sorry, Palace fans. He will not be there next season. This is an unbelievable talent.
“There are going to be so many clubs after him because he can do the lot. A wonderful, wonderful player.”
Meanwhile, Palace says it will only entertain offers for Eze and another ‘Nigerian’ Michael Olise that start at £60m or more,
According to the BBC, both Olise and Eze signed long-term deals this season so Palace are in a strong negotiating position.
Neither contract contains a straightforward release clause and any deal will be complex with percentages due to the players’ former clubs, the players themselves and Crystal Palace.
Last summer Eze was the subject of interest from Manchester City but the champions signed Wolves’ Matheus Nunes instead, while Chelsea unsuccessfully attempted to sign Olise for a fee in the region of £35m, thinking they had activated his release clause.
