Crystal Palace F.C. has officially announced the extension of Ebere Eze’s contract, securing the talented 25-year-old attacker until 2027. Since his arrival from Queens Park Rangers in August 2020, Eze has solidified his position as one of the Premier League’s most dynamic forward prospects. His recent milestone of making his 100th appearance for Palace against Fulham in September underscores his integral role in the team.
Eze, Palace’s top scorer in the previous season, showcased his prowess in all 38 Premier League matches, scoring 10 goals and providing four assists. His stellar performances also earned him his first two senior caps for England in matches against Malta and Scotland. In joining the ranks of fellow internationals Michael Olise, Sam Johnstone, and Jordan Ayew in committing to long-term deals with Palace this season, Eze’s extension adds significant strength to the club’s future prospects.
Chairman Steve Parish expressed his delight, stating, “I’m absolutely delighted that Eberechi has committed his future to Crystal Palace Football Club. As an England international and proven performer at Premier League level, his talents are well-known, but he also brings with that an exemplary mentality and character in everything he does.” Parish emphasized that Eze’s new contract is well-deserved recognition for his impact on the team.
Eze himself expressed his joy at signing the new deal, saying, “I’m delighted to have signed for the club for another three-and-a-half years. I’m now in my fourth season with the club and I’ve enjoyed it so far. I’m loving every moment. Hopefully, the fans can expect more of the same in the future, God willing – I’m praying for exciting performances, fun times, goals, and wins.” This extension marks a significant moment for Crystal Palace and its supporters as they look forward to continued success with Eze as a key contributor.
