Southgate named his Three Lions squad heading to Germany for this year’s tournament earlier this week, cutting seven players from the provisional 33-man list. One significant surprise was the omission of 28-year-old Grealish, alongside Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison.
Eze, now with three international caps under his belt, was selected over Grealish, along with Jarrod Bowen and Anthony Gordon among others. The Crystal Palace forward was viewed as a fringe choice for the squad but managed to sway Southgate with his commendable performances for Palace this season and his impressive contribution to England’s 3-0 friendly win against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
As popular as the 25-year-old forward may be, it is claimed members in the Germany squad were taken aback by his inclusion over ex-Aston Villa captain Grealish.
