Crystal Palace have signed attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze in a deal that could earn Queens Park Rangers £20M.
The 22-year-old has signed a five-year deal with the Eagles.
Eze scored 14 goals and assisted a further 8 for Mark Warburton’s side in the Championship in the 2019-20season.
Palace paid an initial feel of £16M to sign the England Under-21 international. He becomes Palace’s second signing of the summer following the arrival of Nathan Ferguson from West Bromwich Albion.
Eze told Crystal Palace’s official website: “As a football club, I feel like there are great players here and it’s a brilliant opportunity for me to come and be with these players, to link up with them and to really push on.”
Crystal Palace Chairman, Steve Parish, added: “Eberechi is a player whose development we have followed closely. We are delighted he has chosen to sign for us over the other clubs that were interested and we feel that this is the right club for him to continue his development.
“With our Academy recently securing Category 1 status, this further illustrates our focus on youth as we look to consolidate and improve upon our position as a Premier League club.”
