Transfer: Crystal Palace confirm Eberechi Eze’s release clause has expired

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Eberechi Eze's release clause has expired, putting an end to speculation about the player's future. Eze, who was linked with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, has now been ruled out of a potential move to Stamford Bridge.

Despite doubts about his availability, Glasner decided to start Eze in midfield, where he scored a goal. The manager praised Eze's performance, stating that he had trained well all week and deserved to play.

Glasner remained calm about the situation, acknowledging that the club's decision to let Eze's release clause expire was final. With just two weeks left in the transfer window, the club will now wait to see what happens next.
