Transfer Update: Crystal Palace Boss Glasner Confirms Eberechi Eze Has Played His Final Game

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Eberechi Eze has officially played his last game for the club, signaling the end of his time at Selhurst Park.

Glasner made this revelation after Palace secured a 1-0 victory over Fredrikstad in the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff on Thursday night.

Interestingly, Eze was not included in the matchday squad, which fueled speculation about his imminent move. The decisive goal was scored by Jean-Philippe Mateta, who ensured Palace’s win in front of their home supporters.

Reports of a Farewell Game Dismissed

Earlier in the day, several reports suggested that Eze could make an appearance in the game as a way to say goodbye to the Palace fans before completing his anticipated move to Arsenal. However, this did not happen.

Instead, the 27-year-old forward informed Glasner that he was not feeling well enough to play, which led to his absence from the lineup.

Glasner Confirms Departure

While addressing the media after the match, Glasner openly admitted that Eze’s chapter with Crystal Palace is over.

“I think that Eberechi Eze won’t play for Crystal Palace anymore. Wishing him all the best at his new club,” Glasner stated.

This statement strongly indicates that Eze’s transfer to Arsenal Football Club is close to being finalized, marking one of the biggest Premier League moves of the season.
