Eze extends Crystal Palace contract until 2027: 'I'm loving every moment'

LONDON (AP) — Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze has signed a contract extension to stay with the Premier League club until 2027.

The 25-year-old England international scored 10 goals last season and has one this campaign. He joined the south London club from Queens Park Rangers in 2020.

"I'm loving every moment," Eze said in a club statement on Friday. "I'm praying for exciting performances, fun times, goals and wins."

Eze made his England debut this summer. He was also eligible to represent Nigeria.

"As an England international and proven performer at Premier League level, his talents are well-known, but he also brings with that an exemplary mentality and character in everything he does," Palace chairman Steve Parish said.

Mid-table Palace hosts Everton at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
