Arsenal fans are yet to see the Crystal Palace version of Eberechi Eze, says Rio Ferdinand (Picture: Getty)Rio Ferdinand says Eberechi Eze has lost the selfishness that made him such a threat for Crystal Palace and the midfielder is ‘sacrificing parts of his game’ for the greater good at Arsenal. But the legendary the ex-Manchester United and England defender believes Eze is still only a shadow of the player that helped Palace win the FA Cup last season. He just had two moments in the game,’ Ferdinand said of Eze’s performance. ‘I think he’s a wonderful player and he’s a player that I’d pay to watch right now, 100 per cent with Eze,’ Ferdinand continued. ‘But I think he’s playing more for the team than for himself and if you’re going to win championships, sometimes you have to sacrifice parts of your game to do that.
