Crystal Palace star Andros Townsend says that Eberechi Eze is "an incredible talent" and signing him is great business for the club.
The attacker joined Palace from QPR for £16million rising to a potential £20million this summer.
And Townsend says that the 22-year-old is already showing his qualities in the team.
"It's no secret we didn’t score enough goals last season, so obviously you have to bring players in," Townsend told the club website.
"Ebs is an incredible talent, and what he has shown so far is that he will be one for the future. Great business and it freshens up our attack."
Palace were dumped out of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night by Bournemouth on penalties, and Townsend knows what his teammates are going through after missing a decisive penalty in the competition last season.
"It was a difficult one [to take]," he added. "The standard of penalties was incredible.
"And obviously we knew someone had to be the villain and someone had to be the hero, and unfortunately Wayne Hennessey was brilliant in the game, but he and Luka missed a penalty.
"I was actually the one who missed against Colchester in the cup last season, so I know exactly how those boys are feeling.
"You just want the ground to swallow you up. But it’s part and parcel of football and we’ve got a big game on Saturday and if we win Saturday this is all forgotten about."
