Eze ‘a huge asset’ for QPR, says Wells

Ebere Eze has been hailed by on-loan striker Nakhi Wells, who says the QPR youngster is a “huge asset” for the club. 

Eze produced another excellent display for the R’s on Wednesday night against Millwall, earning the man of the match award.

And Wells believes Eze can lead Rangers to the top end of the Championship with his game-changing attributes.

“He’s a huge asset for this football club, someone I have huge admiration for,” Wells told West London Sport.

“He wants to learn, he’s not comfortable at the level he’s at, he wants to grow and has high ambitions.

“Huge credit to him and he’s showing it out there. He’s not just a young kid anymore, he’s being a leader for us.

“We need that and long may that continue. He’s always going to chip in with goals and assists because he’s that talented, but he’s got something very few in the league have, which is raw and natural ability to carry the ball in certain situations.

“You need that to get to and be at the top end of the Championship.”

Wednesday night’s 2-0 win over Millwall was Rangers’ second victory on the trot and Wells believes Steve McClaren’s side will start to build further momentum, with the new arrivals gelling well already.

Striker Wells is likely to lead the line with fellow loan signing Tomer Hemed for large parts of the season – and both have previously scored a large number of goals in the Championship.

“Since the end of the transfer window, it’s given the team a bit of a boost,” said Wells.

“With our balance now we can be confident on the back of the performances we’re putting in and we’re only going to get better.

“It’s still early days and we have only had two or three weeks working together in training, and as the weeks roll on individuals are going to understand each other more.

“We’re only going to get better and long may that continue.”
