# Crystal Palace: Fans react as Eze shines on England U21 duty

**[Crystal Palace](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/?s=crystal+palace) summer signing [Eberechi Eze](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eberechi-eze/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/479999/verein/1039) is seen as a player with a lot of potential, and this has only been highlighted further by his efforts for the [England U21](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/16261/12087615/curtis-jones-japhet-tanganga-earn-first-england-u21-call-ups) squad recently.**

The [22 year-old](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eberechi-eze/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/479999/verein/1039) played for the young Lions under Aidy Boothroyd on Wednesday in a Euro’s qualifier against Andorra. He clearly impressed as he played for the whole [90 minutes and picked up an assist](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1313857559103766530?s=20) in the [3-3](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54386633) draw, and a lot of Palace fans are excited to hear how he performed.

Many Palace fans were hoping manager Roy Hodgson was watching so that he can see what Eze can do with a little bit of attacking freedom. Hodgson is favouring a [4-4-2](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-chelsea/hN) currently with [Eze playing](https://www.sofascore.com/crystal-palace-chelsea/hN) as a left-midfielder who has to track back and it looks like this is frustrating a lot of the South London fan base.

Hopefully the 22 year-old, who picked up 14 goals and eight assists, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eberechi-eze/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/479999), for Queens Park Rangers last season, can start to show his attacking quality a bit more as he adapts to the Premier League.
