Eze offered Palace supporters hope during lockdown, flung himself into community projects and, in May, made history at the south London club

Eberechi Eze was announced as a new Arsenal attacker before kickoff at a delighted Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Eberechi Eze has passed on his gratitude to Crystal Palace for ‘giving him a chance’ and ‘believing in him’ after completing a transfer move to Arsenal. The 27-year-old England international has brought his five-year spell at Selhurst Park to a halt to join the Gunners – the club that released him at the age of just 13.
