Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says he is "astounded" by the lack of interest in Eberechi Eze during the transfer window.

Eze has plenty of admirers in the Premier League, with Manchester City said to have tracked him over the summer, but no one made a concrete approach for the 26-year-old.

Palace were relieved to keep Eze after seeing Bayern Munich sign Michael Olise for £50m earlier in the window.

"I was really worried from a club point of view of losing Michael and Ebbs in the same window and we didn't have in Ebbs the interest that I thought we would have," Parish told Sky Sports News.

"I was astounded. Genuinely astounded. I mean, the guy's just an outstanding footballer, an outstanding person."
