Nigeria And England Compete For Ebere Eze Of Crystal Palace

Eberechi Eze

Eberechi Eze, a midfielder for Crystal Palace, is reportedly once again on Gareth Southgate's radar.

Nigeria will challenge the manager of the England national team for the player.

Eze has been essential to Palace's turnaround under Roy Hodgson.

In seven games, the 24-year-old has scored six goals to help the South London team stave off relegation.

Southgate, who thinks Eze has the potential to be a full England international, has taken note of his performances.

Eze's potential call-up for the Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Malta and North Macedonia later this month is still uncertain.

Nigeria, who also wants to guarantee Eze's future, complicates England's desire to acquire Eze.

Eze had already been persuaded to play for the Super Eagles a number of times. The player must still make a final choice, though.

Eze's parentage make him eligible for Nigeria. The England staff is aware that Nigeria is still interested in Eze.
