Cross after European squeeze, say (7)
I believe the answer is:
express
'say' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cross after european squeeze' is the wordplay.
'cross' becomes 'x' (X is cross-shaped).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'squeeze' becomes 'press' (synonyms).
'x' put after 'e' is 'ex'.
'ex'+'press'='EXPRESS'
(Other definitions for express that I've seen before include "clear > couch" , "Fast - state - train" , "Quick -- exact" , "Out of papers" , "Explicit" .)
