While disappointed to lose Eze, Glasner did say on Friday: "He struggled last year at the beginning of the season but going through this period helped him become a better footballer.
"I spoke very often about the crunch time, I'm a big NBA fan and in the crunchtime the superstars are always on the court.
"When we needed Ebs in the crunch time, he was there. That's what I will always remember, with great players, when you need them they are always there.
"Great players never hide, we could count on Ebs in the very important games, this is what he gave to the team and to Crystal Palace."
