Eberechi Eze has had an outstanding season for Crystal Palace and the Englishman has received some big praise from Jason Cundy.
Crystal Palace have had a mixed season in the Premier League with Roy Hodgson ending his managerial stint at Selhurst Park and former Borussia Monchengladbach coach Oliver Glasner taking the reins.
Since Glasner’s appointment at Selhurst Park, Palace have had a brilliant uptick in form with the most memorable of results being a 4-0 victory over Manchester United.
The future of one Palace player in Michael Olise looks to be away from Selhurst Park but it seems that Eberechi Eze will certainly remain at Palace, no matter what happens with Olise, who is attracting interest from Newcastle United.
One pundit believes however, that Eze should be a target for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and that he would upgrade the team in his position.
Pundit believes Eze better than City ace
This season for Palace, Eze has had a brilliant goalscoring campaign with the winger scoring 11 goals and providing four assists for the Eagles in the Premier League.
He has performed so well for Palace that England manager Gareth Southgate has called up Eze as one of four Palace players in the provisional squad for this summer’s European Championship.
Speaking on talkSPORT, ex-Chelsea ace Jason Cundy believes that the English winger may well be better than one Manchester City star, in particular.
“This kid (Eze) is special,” Cundy said. “I think he is better than (Jeremy) Doku. What I am doing is kind of comparing to where he can get in. I think he gets in Liverpool’s team. I think he gets in Arsenal’s team on the left-hand side. I would have him ahead of Trossard and Martinelli. I would. I 100% would.”
The former Reading winger has been a consistent attacking threat for Palace since he joined the cub and he has gone from strength to strength.
Eze vs Doku
Since joining the Premier League champions last summer, Belgian winger Jeremy Doku has had a mixed season for City with just three goals to his name and eight assists in England’s top division.
He has provided a dangerous outlet on the wing but has not been a consistent goalscoring threat yet but the former Stade Rennais winger deserves time to prove himself.
As for Eze, the Englishman has proven himself as a superb goalscoring threat for Palace and it seems surprising that he has not been linked with a big money move this summer, like Olise.
