Should Eze depart Palace, the Eagles will pocket a significant profit on a player they signed from Queens Park Rangers for around £17 million in 2020. He’s since gone on to make 167 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 40 goals, becoming a talismanic figure after the departure of Wilfried Zaha to Galatasaray in 2023.

Oliver Glasner has praised Eze's professionalism but offered no guarantees he would remain at the club beyond the September 1 deadline.
