Eze starred with QPR in the Skybet Championship last season where he has 14 goals and 8 assists in 46 appearances to his name, also winning QPR’s player and young player of the season awards in the process. 

Crystal Palace Chairman, Chris Parish said on Eze’s arrival: “Eberechi is a player whose development we have followed closely. We are delighted he has chosen to sign for us over the other clubs that were interested in him and we feel that this is the right club for him to continue his development.”
