The friendly match at The City Ground saw England suffer a 3-1 loss to Senegal, marking Tuchel’s first defeat since taking charge of the national team. Amidst the collective disappointment, Eze's performance stood out. Having only featured as a substitute in the previous 1-0 win over Andorra, the 26-year-old was handed a starting role against Senegal and made an immediate impact. He made the opportunity count as he set up Harry Kane for the opener.

Scholes took to social media during the game to express his admiration for Eze’s performance. Posting a picture of the Palace playmaker in his England kit on Instagram, the Manchester United legend kept it short and emphatic with only three words: “Just buy him.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Eze has enjoyed arguably his best year in a Palace shirt, finishing the season with 14 goals and 11 assists across all competitions. His crowning moment came in the FA Cup final, where he netted the winner against Manchester City, sealing a historic triumph for Oliver Glasner's side.
DID YOU KNOW?
That form has not gone unnoticed, with several Premier League clubs monitoring his situation closely. Tottenham have long admired the former QPR man, and the presence of a £68 million ($92m) release clause in his contract makes him an attainable target for top clubs this summer.
