Glasner finds it Eze for Eagles to soar

MASTERMIND OLIVER IS TAKING HIS HEROES TO WEMBLEY... AS RIVAL CLUBS BID TO TEMPT HIM

- SIMON MULLOCK

NO wonder Jurgen Klopp fancies having a bit of Oliver Glasner in Leipzig.

No surprise, either, that Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish would much prefer the Austrian to sign a new contract to stay at Selhurst Park.

Parish has a growing number of assets being coveted by other clubs, And this was a day when Eberechi Eze demonstrated why Manchester City have been monitoring him - with two quickfire flashes of brilliance to ensure that one end of Wembley will be filled by the Holmesdale Massive next month.

In the space of four first-half minutes, the England winger scored a sensational goal before setting up a routine finish for Ismaila Sarr with another dashing demonstration of quality.

Substitute Eddie Nketiah came on after the break to score Palace's third goal and wouldn't it be ironic if he now ended up with a winner's medal before the Arsenal team he left behind?

Centre-back Marc Guehi would be playing for Newcastle had they offered enough money.

Ruben Amorim reckons striker Jean-Philippe Mateta's 6ft 4in frame would fit a Manchester United shirt perfectly.

While midfielder Adam Wharton is admired by most of the Premier League's top teams.

But Glasner is THE man in south-east London.
