Eberechi Eze has ended speculation about his future by penning a five-year contract with Premier League club Crystal Palace, the Eagles have informed via their official website.

An England U21 international of Nigerian descent, Eze departs Queens Park Rangers with 112 first team games under his belt, scoring 20 goals - all of them in the Championship.

The 22-year-old was linked with possible moves to English top-flight teams this summer after an outstanding season with the Hoops that saw him win the Supporters' Player of the Year, Players' Player of the Year and Junior Hoops Player of the Year awards.

In his first words as a player of Crystal Palace, Eze stated : "As a football club, I feel like there are great players here and it’s a brilliant opportunity for me to come and be with these players, to link up with them and to really push on."

Crystal Palace Chairman, Steve Parish, added: "Eberechi is a player whose development we have followed closely. We are delighted he has chosen to sign for us over the other clubs that were interested and we feel that this is the right club for him to continue his development."

Eze played for the youth teams of Arsenal, Fulham and Millwall prior to joining Queens Park Rangers in 2016.
