Champions League club 'eye Crystal Palace star in £34.6m bid' as Oliver Glasner's side face battle to hold onto key players

A Champions League club are targeting the signing of Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta, according to a report.

Palace face an uncertain future as officials gather in Switzerland to try and save their bid to stay in the Europa League after they fell foul to multi-ownership rules on the back of winning the FA Cup.

Eagles officials, led by chairman Steve Parish, faced off with UEFA, Nottingham Forest and Lyon in a battle to overturn their bombshell demotion from the Europa League to the Conference League at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Friday.
