Sun: Eze was eliminated by Arsenal youth training at the age of 13, and now his net worth is 60 million pounds

May 17th As the battle between Manchester City and Crystal Palace is about to begin this season's FA Cup final, the Sun published an article introducing the growth experience of England's midfielder Eze, who is now playing for Crystal Palace.

Eze grew up in a slum near Greenwich, London, and initially fell in love with football in a football cage near his residence. In 2020, Eze said in an interview with the Independent: "Life is not easy. When I was a child, I didn't have what other children had. The first place we went to after school was that football cage, and we would stay there until our parents asked us to go home. There was nothing else to do there, but it was there that cultivated our love for football."

Eze's talent finally made him stand out and was favored by the Arsenal youth training camp. However, Eze didn't have long days at Arsenal. He was eliminated when he was 13 years old. This setback made him very frustrated. Eze recalled: "I remember crying in the room for a whole week. My mom told me that everything would be fine, but I just couldn't let it go. Later, I went to Fulham and I finally started to enjoy the fun of playing football again. A few months later we played against Arsenal, and when I went over to shake hands with the Arsenal youth training director, I couldn't help crying."

After a series of unsuccessful trials in Fulham, Reading, Millwall, Sunderland, Bristol City, Swansea and other teams, Eze almost gave up his dream of becoming a professional player. He even planned to find a part-time job at Yigo. Finally, during his college years, Eze performed well in the trials of the Queens Park Rangers, giving the club's technical director Chris Ramsey (Chris) Ramsey was impressed, signing with Queens Park Rangers in August 2016 and completing his debut with Queens Park Rangers five months later in the FA Cup against Blackburn Rangers. That season, Eze had only once for the first team and was then loaned to Wimbledon Rangers the next season, where he made 22 appearances and scored five goals. After returning to the Queens Park Rangers after his loan period expired, he became a regular visitor to the team's first team. After making 112 appearances for the Queens Park Rangers (Eze scored 20 goals and assisted 12 times during this period), Eze's Premier League dream came true.

In August 2020, Eze joined Crystal Palace for a transfer fee of 17 million pounds. So far, he has made 164 appearances for Crystal Palace, scoring 38 goals and assisting 28 times. He has also won the call for the English team with his outstanding performance. Eze's net worth has reached 60 million pounds, and Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham have expressed their interest in him. According to the Sun, Crystal Palace is willing to let Eze leave the team this summer to obtain funds to rebuild the team comprehensively. Although Eze's future at the club is yet to be determined, he is eager to finish his Crystal Palace career by winning the FA Cup before leaving Selhurst Park, home court at Crystal Palace.
