Eberechi Oluchi Eze (born 29 June 1998; pronounced /əˈbɛərəˌtʃi ˈɛzə/ ə-BAIR-ə-tchee EZ-ə[2][3]) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or left winger for Premier League club Crystal Palace and the England national team.

Early life

Eze was born in Greenwich, Greater London to Igbo Nigerian parents.[4] Growing up, he reflected on his life, saying: "There are the nice parts [of Greenwich] and the not so nice parts. I grew up in a not so nice part. It wasn’t the easiest life and you don’t have as much as other kids around you. The first place we’d go after school is to the cage. We’d stay there till our parents called us in, not eating, playing all day and night. There wasn’t really anything else to do. But that’s where the love comes from. [At the time], you don’t realise it’s actually how you’re learning your trade."[5] Eze then met Bright Osayi-Samuel, his teammate during his time at Queens Park Rangers, at secondary school and played football together at the same district team.[6]

Eze started his football career at Arsenal before being released when he was thirteen and then went on to join Fulham and Reading.[5][7] Eze then appeared as a youth player at Millwall, where he signed a two–year scholarship with the club.[8] Eze quickly progressed both the U18 side and the reserve side.[9] It was announced in April 2016 that Eze would be leaving Millwall at the end of the 2015–16 season after not being offered a professional contract.[10][11]

Club career

Queens Park Rangers

Following his release, he continued studying in college before trialling successfully with Championship club Queens Park Rangers (QPR), impressing the club's technical director Chris Ramsey.[5][11] Eze completed his signing for Queens Park Rangers on 3 August 2016.[12] On 7 January 2017, Eze made his first-team debut in an FA Cup tie against Blackburn Rovers, featuring for 18 minutes before being injured and replaced by Yeni Ngbakoto.[13] The game resulted in a 2–1 home defeat for QPR.[14] This was his only appearance of the 2016–17 season for the side. He then signed a contract extension with the club, keeping him until 2019.[15]

On 30 August 2017, Eze joined League Two club Wycombe Wanderers on loan until January 2018.[16] He made his Wycombe Wanderers debut, coming on as a 79th minute substitute, in a 0–0 draw against Newport County on 9 September 2017.[17] After making his debut for the club, Eze quickly became a first team regular for the side, where he rotated in different midfield positions.[18] Eze scored his first ever senior goal on 7 October 2017, netting a brace for Wycombe against Cambridge United.[19] His goal against Cambridge United earned him a nomination for the League Two Goal of the Month award for October.[20] He made a total of 20 appearances and played a part in Wycombe gaining promotion that season.[21] Eze scored a further four times in total for Wycombe, putting in some eye-catching performances before returning to QPR in January.[22][23]

After returning to QPR, Eze featured regularly for Ian Holloway's side, who planned on using him in the first team.[23][24] His first appearance of the 2017–18 season came on 6 January 2018 against Milton Keynes Dons in the third round of the FA Cup, coming on as a 61st-minute substitute, in a 1–0 loss.[25] At the end of the 2017–18 season, he went on to make 16 appearances, with his first goal for the club came on 10 March 2018 against Sunderland, the only goal of the match.[26]

Ahead of the 2018–19 season, Holloway left Queens Park Rangers as the previous season was concluded and his replacement, Steve McClaren handed Eze the number 10 shirt for the club.[27] A week later, he signed a new three-year contract with QPR, binding him to the club until June 2021.[28] Eze started the season well when he scored his first goal of the season, in a 2–1 loss against Sheffield United on 11 August 2018.[29] Eze then scored two consecutive goals between 15 September 2018 and 19 September 2018 against Bolton Wanderers and his former club, Millwall.[30] Since the start of the 2018–19 season, he continued to be a first team regular for the side, continuing to play in different midfield positions.[31] His performance was praised by McClaren, who said: "Eze has great talent but he did great work off the ball in terms of helping the team defend. We're asking him to do that and it's important that he does that in terms of his development."[32] Eze then set up two goals in two matches between 20 October 2018 and 23 October 2018 against Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday.[33] A month later on 24 November 2018 against Stoke City, he set up two goals for Àngel Rangel, in a 2–2 draw.[34] Eze's fourth goal then came on 1 January 2019, in a 2–2 draw against Aston Villa.[35] However towards the end of the 2018–19 season, Eze soon found himself placed at the substitute bench.[36] He played 46 games in the 2018–19 season, scoring four times in all competitions.

In the opening game of the 2019–20 season, Eze scored his first goal of the season, "sauntered through a static Stoke City defence to double Queen Park Rangers' lead after the interval", to win 2–1.[37] Three weeks later on 24 August 2019, he scored his second goal of the season, as well as setting up the club's third goal of the game, in a 3–1 win against Wigan Athletic.[38] Two weeks later on 11 September 2019, Eze scored his third goal of the season, as well as setting up Queen Park Rangers' third goal of the game, in a 3–2 win against Luton Town.[39] After the match, he was named Team of the Week by the EFL and WhoScored.com.[40] Since the start of the 2019–20 season, Eze retained his first team place for the side and played in different midfield positions under the new management of Mark Warburton.[5][41] He then scored four more goals by the end of 2019, including two braces against Hull City and Preston North End.[42] After the match Warburton praised his performance, saying: "Ebe is a tremendous talent. I want him to enjoy his football and he has got to understand how much hard work is required to maximise the talent that he has. He is a talented boy, is playing exceptionally well for us, scoring goals and I hope very much that he is playing with a smile on his face as well."[43]

Eze scored his tenth goal of the season and set up two goals in a 6–1 win against Cardiff City on 1 January 2020.[44] He continued as a first-team regular, and by the time the season was suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he had made 37 league appearances and scored twelve times.[45] Eze remained an integral part of the team once the season resumed behind closed doors.[46] Eze then scored two more goals in the last remaining two matches of the 2019–20 season, coming against Millwall and West Bromwich Albion.[47] He scored 14 goals in 48 games across all competitions in the 2019–20 season, which saw him become one of England's most promising young attacking players.[48] Following this, Eze won the club's Sportito Supporters' Player of the Year.[49] He was also nominated for Championship PFA Bristol Street Motors Fans’ Player of the Year for 2019–20 but lost out to Luke Ayling.[50] On 8 September 2020, Eze was named in Professional Footballers' Association's 2019–20 EFL Championship Team of the Season.[51]

Crystal Palace

On 28 August 2020, Eze signed for Premier League side Crystal Palace on a five-year deal; the fee was reportedly around £17 million.[52] QPR had rejected a £12 million bid from Palace earlier in the month.[53] He was given a number 25 shirt ahead of the new season.[54] On 12 September, he made his Palace debut, coming on as an 81st minute substitute, in a 1–0 win against Southampton in the opening game of the season.[55] Eze scored his first goal for Palace on 7 November, with a direct free kick in a 4–1 home league win over Leeds United.[56] Eze was reported, in May 2021, to have injured his Achilles tendon in a training session and was expected to be sidelined for several months.[57] Following the departure of Andros Townsend for Everton at the start of the 2021–22 Premier League season, Eze was given the number 10 shirt for Palace. Eze netted his only goal of the season on 30 April, levelling the match on the hour mark with a cushioned left-footed finish, in a 2-1 win against Southampton.[58][59]

Eze scored his first goal of the 2022–23 season, weaving through tackles on the edge of the box before finishing with a low shot, which got Palace a 2–1 win against midtable Leeds United on 9 October 2022.[60] He would also score in his next home match on the 18th, heading in a cross by Michael Olise a minute into the second half, which levelled the game in a 2–1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 18 October.[61] Eze managed to score 10 goals in the league to be the top scorer of his club in the 2022–23 season.[62]

On 10 November 2023, Eze extended his contract with Crystal Palace until 2027.[63] In the 2023–24 season, he set a new personal record at the club, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists in 31 matches in all competitions.[64]

International career

Youth

Because Eze is of Nigerian ancestry,[4][65] he has trained with the Nigeria national team.[66] On 5 October 2018, he was called up to the England national under-20 team,[67] and made his debut on 11 October 2018 in a 2–1 win against Italy in the Under 20 Elite League.[68] Eze then captained England U20 for the first time, playing for 75 minutes before being substituted, in a 2–1 loss against Chile at the 2019 Toulon Tournament on 7 June 2019.[69] He went on to make seven appearances for the U20 side.

In 2019, Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick met with Eze in an attempt to persuade him to switch his allegiance to Nigeria.[70] Eze said that he was undecided on who to represent, but Pinnick stated: "It appears to me that he would want to play for Nigeria, but again, there is a lot of pressure on these players who play in England".[70] Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr later stated in January 2021 that he contacts Eze on a weekly basis.[70]

On 3 September 2019 Eze was called up to the England U21 squad by manager Aidy Boothroyd for the upcoming UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers against Turkey and Kosovo.[71] He was an unused substitute on both occasions.[72] Eze eventually made his U21 debut on 15 November 2019 as an 81st minute substitute for Phil Foden during a 3–0 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification victory over Albania.[73]

In April and November 2020, Eze said he had yet to decide on whether to play for Nigeria or his birth country, England, at senior international level.[74][75]

Eze was selected for the group stage of the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship[76] and scored his only goal at under-21 level in their final game against Croatia.[77]

Senior

In May 2021, Eze was called up to the senior England squad for the first time, as part of Gareth Southgate's 33-man provisional squad for Euro 2020, but on the same day was injured during a training session.[78]

In May 2023, Southgate again called Eze up to the England squad.[79] He made his senior debut on 16 June, appearing as a 70th-minute substitute for James Maddison in a 4–0 UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying win against Malta.[80] This appearance meant he could no longer represent Nigeria after this point.[81][82]

He was named in England's 26-man squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[83] On 20 June 2024, Eze made his Euros debut, coming on in the 69th minute of England’s 1-1 draw against Denmark at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt. [84]

Personal life

Eze is a Christian.[85]

Eze is a cousin of American comedian Ego Nwodim, a cast member on Saturday Night Live. Nwodim was seen wearing an Eze shirt during an episode of the show in 2023. The shirt was given to her by Eze after a visit to London.[86][87]
