Eberechi Eze has been left out of Crystal Palace ’s matchday squad to face Fredrikstad, with a big-money transfer move to Arsenal looming. Tonight’s Europa Conference League play-off clash had initially been billed as the last chance for Palace supporters to watch Eze in their colours when it appeared the midfielder was on his way to Tottenham.

Eberechi Eze is a fantastic all-around attacker, but Spurs specifically need a set-piece and long-range specialist, and he just so happens to be one of the best at both.
