Former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Michael Owen has shared his thoughts on the growing speculation around Crystal Palace duo Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi.
Eze is all set to join Arsenal after snubbing a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer transfer window.
Guehi, on the other hand, has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea to replace injured Levi Colwill in manager Enzo Maresca’s squad.
Speaking on the development, Owen, however, expressed sympathy for Crystal Palace.
“I like him [Eze] as a player. He’d be an asset to any team. I like players like that. They play off the cuff, raw, natural talent. Lots of players now are robotic, but with him, you don’t know what’s coming next,” Owen told 247Bet.
“I feel sorry for Palace, though – they have built a lovely team, got a good manager, great fans and suddenly their top players are being picked off.
“Marc Guéhi will probably go as well, whether now or soon, and if Eze leaves too, it’s tough. They’re not the only club it happens to, though. They’ll have to reinvest the money well.
