EBERECHI Eze says he is gaining “strength and rhythm” after a momentous last month for him and Crystal Palace.
Eze scored his first senior international goal for England, and scored and assisted in the FA Cup quarter-final win at Fulham.
Palace face Aston Villa at Wembley later this month for a place in the final.
“I’m just gaining a bit of rhythm now”, Eze said. “Gaining some more strength game by game. It’s important for me to be playing and feeling good, so I’m happy to be doing that.
“I do set set myself goals for the season, but I won’t tell you guys [the media]! I’m just always trying to improve, trying to be better than I was last season.
“I wouldn’t say it’s the best [football of his career], but I’m happy to be playing well and trying. For sure, there’s still more to come.
“We’ve still got a lot to achieve this season. We believe that we can do it and the mentality is to keep going, keep pushing and to see where we can get to.”
Eze assisted Jean-Philippe Mateta and Daniel Muñoz in Palace’s 2-1 win over Brighton last weekend.
He added: “JP’s a big player for us. Both in scoring goals and affecting games, we need him to do that. I enjoy playing with him, he’s a top player and a top guy.
“You know where he’s going to be, you know his strength. And we’ve built a good relationship over a few years now, so it’s good to be playing with him.”
