Sunderland in the Premier League
Seven years have passed since Sunderland played in the Premier League, and a lot has undoubtedly changed.
The Black Cats made wise purchases during their most recent Premier League campaign, investing nearly £20 million on Didier Ndong and wisely on players like Paddy McNair and Papi Djilobodji.
2020 saw Ebere Eze move from QPR to Crystal Palace at a rumored £20 million.
Eze has already made 107 Premier League appearances in his fourth season at Selhurst Park, tallying 22 goals and 17 assists.
He scored the game-winning goal for Palace last weekend when they defeated Liverpool 1-0.
The 25-year-old was connected to Manchester City last month, and it’s said that the club is willing to pay up to £77 million for the Englishman.
Additionally, in a recent interview, Eze talked about how he got into football and how he was turned down by a number of teams before being given a shot by QPR in 2016.
Eze stated:
“I choose to support Arsenal.” I played there for maybe five years before being let go, then I spent around two and a half years at Fulham before being let go again, then I spent half a year at Reading before being let go again. After that, I traveled to Millwall for my scholar, where I stayed for two years before being released. went on trial for a few teams, then to Bristol City and Sunderland. was freed. Not released, exactly, but didn’t enter.
What could’ve been for Ebere Eze and the Black Cats
Many clubs were not able to get Eze.
Not only will Sunderland regret not giving him an opportunity, but a number of other teams will also be disappointed; QPR and now Palace are the fortunate suitors.
Though Sunderland still has some key assets, the Eagles appear to be very close to a significant payoff in terms of Eze.
Jack Clarke is expected to make a significant profit for the team this summer and has the potential to succeed Eze at Palace.
Additionally, there appears to be a belief that, given the opportunity, a young Eze would be given a chance at Sunderland and most likely make it into the first team.
The Black Cats must make sure they don’t let any more stars like Eze escape their control and must do every effort to keep any stars they do find, like Rigg, for example.
