'I see you' - Crystal Palace £41m Deadline Day duo share exciting social media exchange

Oliver Glasner brought in two Premier League stars from London rivals on Deadline Day.

Crystal Palace summer signings Eddie Nketiah and Trevoh Chalobah appear to have settled into life at Selhurst Park in rapid time after a heart-warming social media exchange with Eagles star Eberechi Eze at the weekend.

Oliver Glasner bolstered his squad in the final hours of the transfer window on Deadline Day. The club forked out £30 million for Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah, who signed a five-year deal in South London to end a nine-year stint at the Emirates Stadium.

Nketiah was joined by another acquisition from a London rival, this time a defensive reinforcement in the former of Chalobah. The Chelsea centre-back, who is valued at £11 million by database Transfermarkt, arrived at Crystal Palace on a season-long loan deal having been deemed surplus to requirements by Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge.

Last weekend's meeting with Chelsea came too soon for those new signings but both Nketiah and Chalobah were in the stands for the meeting. Crystal Palace picked up a point at Stamford Bridge with Eze scoring a beautifully curled equaliser in the second half to level the scores at 1-1.

Celebrating his goal after the match, Eze posted a series of photos on social media platform Instagram with the caption 'I see youuu', much to the entertainment of the Crystal Palace new boys.

Replying to his new teammate, Nketiah wrote, "Thank you for seeing us." Meanwhile, in a commented that appears to have been deleted, Chelsea loanee Chalobah had initially written, "We see you too."

Reacting to the interaction online, Crystal Palace supporters admitted they were 'buzzing' to see the players link up on the pitch. One fan wrote: "This is going to be a lot of fun, innit?"

After the international break, Crystal Palace are next in action with the visit of Leicester City on September 14 before a Carabao Cup trip to QPR, which will see Eze return to the club where he made his breakthrough into first team football.
