Crystal Palace boss, Roy Hodgson, is impressed with the progress of Ebere Eze.
Eze, who has three goals and the same number of assists since he joined in the summer from QPR, but none in the Eagles’ last five matches.
“He has had a very quick rise to where he is today,” Hodgson said.
“I think there are very few of his age playing their first season in the Premier League that you wouldn’t look at and say they are very good and they do very good things, but there are other aspects of their game where he could improve.
“He works on them and is very keen to learn. I am delighted with his progress and we haven’t seen the best of him yet, but then again we never expected to.
“This is a player who has signed a very long-term contract with the club and will be here doing his work for many, many years to come. You will see a better Eberechi Eze with every month that goes by.”
