Crystal Palace secured their first-ever win in a European competition with a historic 1-0 victory over Fredrikstad, but the celebratory atmosphere at Selhurst Park was tinged with the news of star midfielder Eberechi Eze’s imminent move to Arsenal.
Manager Oliver Glasner confirmed the departure after the match, telling Channel 5, “Ebs will not play for us anymore.”
The momentous occasion comes after a trophy-laden year for the Eagles, who won both the FA Cup and Community Shield, though they were also demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League by UEFA.
The club now faces the task of replacing Eze and strengthening the squad before the transfer window closes.
