Eberechi Eze heads into the summer as one of the most highly sought-after players in the Premier League as he prepares for his first ever major tournament with England.
The Crystal Palace midfielder was one of the standout performers in a stellar campaign for the Eagles as a whole, grabbing 15 goal involvements in just 27 appearances.
The playmaker has been the subject of plenty of speculation heading into the summer transfer window and is expected to be a one of a number of players Oliver Glasner will be desperately trying to hold onto.

Eberechi Eze release clause revealed
The former Queens Park Rangers midfielder has been a wanted man for a number of years now, with a supposed pursuit by Manchester City failing to materialise in 2023, instead opting for Wolves' Matheus Nunes.
With Michael Olise, Marc Guehi and Cheick Doucoure all expected to have suitors this summer, the Eagles were undoubtedly hoping to price Eze out of a move this season as they look to build on the extraordinary momentum at the end of the 2023/24 season.
However, recent developments have suggested that may not be the case...

According to the Daily Mail, it has been revealed that Eze has a £60 million release clause written into his contract, with a further £8 million in potential add-ons.
