Eberechi Eze is Newcastle’s next target. The Crystal Palace attacking midfielder had the chance to sign for the northern English club in the winter transfer window, but his home club, the Crystal Palace, closed in band. For this reason, the magpies will return to the fray in summer with €54 millionas reported by The Sun.
Newcastle offered six million euros to get him on loan until the end of this campaign, and after that, they intended to pay a further 42 million to take over the rights to the 23-year-old. However, Crystal Palace flatly refused. The leaders of the London club were not willing to part with such a valuable footballer late in the season, and on top of that, yielding to a direct rival in the standings.
The midfielder was a bet from Palace a year and a half ago. The eagles team spent 21.5 million euros on a player with very good skills, which essentially stands out for its good handling of the ball. Since Eze’s driving is his main weapon, he could be classified as a player with good footing.
In the same vein, the St. James Park team has already given signs of how it wants to guide its transfer policy. You just have to look at the newcomer, Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian is another footballer who is characterized by his command of the ball, which contributes to improving Eddie Howe’s proposal, more combinative and less direct. That is why it is so important for Newcastle to find midfielders who can easily break lines. And Eze is next.
