Young Crystal Palace baller Eberechi Eze has become the latest player to strike a deal with sportswear giants New Balance.
After blossoming into one of England's most exciting youngsters with Queens Park Rangers, Eze took his talents to Palace last summer in a £20m deal and he wasted little time in showing the Premier League what he is about.
Eze's dazzling performances have earned him the nickname 'The Entertainer', and he will now get the chance to strut his stuff in New Balance's new Furon v6+ boots after linking up with the sportswear company."Joining New Balance is a huge moment for me and I’m grateful for this opportunity," Eze said of the deal. "There’s so much more I want to achieve in the game and right now I’m working on putting in good performances to help me get there. It’s great to have a global brand behind me."
The 22-year-old has looked at home in the English top flight, putting together a gorgeous highlights package from his debut year in the big leagues.
New Balance's head of global football sports marketing, Andrew McGarty, added: “We are delighted Eberechi has chosen to join New Balance. He’s a baller with a bright career ahead. We are happy to welcome such a talented player but more importantly a good person into the New Balance Family”
Eze already leads Palace in assists this year and is one of the side's top goalscorers as well, helping to steer the Eagles away from a relegation battle as the Premier League season comes to a close.
He follows in the footsteps of Arsenal starlet Bukayo Saka and Liverpool youngster Harvey Elliott, who penned their own deals to rep New Balance earlier this year.
In Saka, Elliott and Eze, New Balance have snapped up three of the rawest, most-exciting youngsters in English football, all of whom are expected to go on and enjoy successful careers at the highest level.Want to get your hands on the New Balance Furon v6+?
