Crystal Palace whiz Ebere Eze has revealed the multiple number of clubs which rejected him as a teen.
Eze struck the winner for Palace last weekend at Liverpool.
Before joining QPR, Eze says Arsenal, Fulham, Reading and Millwall released him as a youngster, while Sunderland and Bristol City rejected the chance to sign him altogether.
Eze had five years with Arsenal before being cut loose.
"At a young age, it was hard, especially being released," he told Premier in 2020. "Me and my mum cried, everyone was so upset – that's all you know at that age.
"But looking back at it now, that's the start of my journey and I'm grateful to God that's how it went. If it wasn't for that, I may not have got the resilience, bravery, to go and be who I want to be elsewhere. It's shaped me to be who I am today."
