The departure of Eze is a significant blow to Palace, who will need to act quickly to find a suitable replacement. Manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Eze will not play for Palace again, and the team is now focused on bringing in new players.

Palace have already signed several players this summer, including Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi, and Christian Norgaard. However, Parish acknowledges that replacing Eze will be a challenge, given the player's individual quality and the squad's thinness.

Parish aims to use the money from Eze's transfer to strengthen the team's overall base and provide more options for the manager. The club needs to rotate their squad for European football, and finding a suitable replacement for Eze is crucial to their success.

With the transfer deadline just over a week away, Palace must move quickly to find a replacement for Eze and ensure a smooth transition for the team.
