Speaking ahead of his side’s Premier League meeting with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has hailed the Eagles for the signing of Eberechi Eze in the summer transfer window.
The England U21 international, formerly with Queens Park Rangers, moved to Crystal Palace on a five-year deal in exchange for roughly 19.5 million pounds.
Palace have improved in form and are more of an attacking threat since the start of the season due to the presence of Eze
The 22-year-old was recognized for his outstanding displays in November, winning the club’s Goal of the Month and Player of the Month accolades and was shortlisted for the Premier League Goal of the Month award.
“Mo Salah is on the bench, they have all played a lot of games. He can come on and make a difference. We need all the boys,” Klopp said on BT Sport.
“Bringing Eze in was a smart business for Palace, Schlupp has found his position, Zaha is playing higher – it is a proper Premier League team.”
Eze will make his seventh consecutive Premier League start against the champions
