Ex-Man Utd keeper Henderson: Palace pair Eze, Olise most talented I've played with

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson rates midfield pair Michael Olise and Ebere Eze as the most talented he's played with.

Henderson joined Palace last summer from Manchester United last summer.

On their win against Sheffield United, he told Palace's website: “I was right behind them [the goals], actually! Yeah, it was unbelievable, Eze's especially – that's a weaker foot as well!

“He does that every day, to be fair, and obviously Michael, we know what he's capable of, cutting in and hitting at the far corner, but I think he hit it on the volley, didn't he? It was a top, top goal.

“I'm with them every day, so I know them well. It's good going up against them in training. I think they enjoy shooting at us as well!

“They can be as good as they want to be. I think the pair of them are probably the best two players I've actually played with.

“It's lovely to watch… the way they rotate, the confidence they have on the ball. They're top, top players, and it's great to see.

“These boys will get better and better, but they've only just come back from injury as well, you've got to remember that. It takes a run of games to get back up to that level."
