Eze is a logical target for Palace
West Ham and Palace lead chase for Eze
Among the standout performers in this season’s Championship has been QPR forward Eberechi Eze and the 22-year-old’s progress looks set to be rewarded with a move to the Premier League.
Eze scored his 13th goal of the campaign in Saturday’s victory over Millwall and that is only likely to heighten the interest in a player who has a year left on his contract at the west London club.
West Ham boss David Moyes was in attendance at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium and The Athletic is told that the main contenders for Eze’s services are them and Crystal Palace. Although QPR want £20 million for the attacking midfielder, it is likely that they will have to accept considerably less.
Eze joined QPR as an 18-year-old after a successful trial and has registered 19 goals in 111 appearances to date. He played for England at youth level but also qualifies to represent Nigeria.
