Eberechi Eze made the best first impression on his arrival for England duty, he's a lovely guy

Eberechi Eze has won the hearts of many ahead of England's upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia after his wholesome arrival to St. George's Park was captured on camera.

The 24-year-old Crystal Palace forward, who is capped at U20 and U21 level, was rewarded for his fine form this season with a maiden call-up to the England senior squad.

After notching 10 goals and four assists for Roy Hodgson's side, Eze will now be looking to make his mark on the international scene.

“It’s big,” Eze said at his first England press conference. “It’s something I’ve been working towards for a long time and I’m just grateful to God it’s happened now, and I’m in a position to show myself and be in and amongst this level.”

Ahead of that press conference, Eze, who was released by Arsenal at 13 before failed spells at Fulham and Reading, was introduced to staff and players at England's home of football.

Here, Eze asked every member of staff their name before taking the time to chat with them. It's fair to say he made an incredible first impression at St. George's Park.

"Eze asking everyone their names. That's a great touch. Seems like a top bloke," said one fan, while another commented: "Can tell Eze has been brought up well, making sure he speaks to everyone."

When recalling his journey in his first England press conference, an emotional Eze opened up about the difficult times in his career to date, and how he has overcome those challenges.

“It’s another part of my story, because I know that without those setbacks, those difficult moments, it’s hard to grow and become the person I am today," he said.

"I look back at those memories fondly because I know it’s been the shaping of who I am.

“It’s hard to put into words because I look at things a bit differently. I saw that as being on the right trajectory. Although it was a sad situation, being injured, I saw it as the level I could get to, so putting my mind right, being focused on my rehab, gave me the motivation to keep going.

“[Now], my main focus is on training well, doing what I can do, being the best version of myself and whether I play or not, all I can do is what I can do. That decision [whether I play] is for Gareth to make."

Eze added: "I’m grateful to be in this position. I’ve worked hard and I’m here because I deserve to be here, so it’s one step at a time and whatever comes, comes.”
