talisman

She is a talisman that England would love to have to hand as the tournament gets to its business end.

The Forest talisman scored two goals in his side's last home game against Brentford and will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing West Ham, who shipped five last week.

Eze, 27, was Palace's talisman last season, scoring 14 goals and recording 11 assists in 43 games as the club won the FA Cup - the first major trophy in their history.

Those words were splashed across the banner as Newcastle United fans saluted their talisman at St James' Park nine months ago.

It led to the away end turning on their talisman after the game.
