Eberechi Eze's Performance Against Tottenham Was No One-Off - He's Been Brilliant All Season

14 December 2020 09:10

Over 2,000 university students' tuition fees for a year, the annual salaries of about 250 MPs or the upkeep of the monarchy for around three and a half months. Those are three things that £20m could get you if you wanted.

However, when you look at the likes of Harry Maguire moving to Manchester United for £80m, Eden Hazard relocating to Real Madrid for around £100m and Nicolas Pepe sealing a £72m move to the Emirates in the last two years, it's quite clear that £20m doesn't stretch very far in today's football transfer market.

But Crystal Palace and Roy Hodgson would disagree, having picked up one of the signings of the summer for just that amount - including add-ons - in Eberechi Eze.

Eze has become somewhat of an indispensable cog in Hodgson's machine, and certainly isn't out of place in the 'signing of the summer' conversation.

He and Zaha have a blossoming partnership that looks deadly when driving forwards and has no doubt reinvigorated the Palace side, providing a creativity and spark that has injected life onto the pitch.

There's no wonder the Palace faithful is bustling with excitement and optimism, having seen their club undeniably use £20m to brilliant effect.
