Palace hold talks with Mateta over new deal

Crystal Palace are in talks with striker Jean-Philippe Mateta over signing a new contract.

A full agreement is still to be reached but it is understood a deal is now close.

The 27-year-old was a standout performer in Oliver Glasner's side last season, scoring 17 goals in all competitions as Palace won the FA Cup - their first major trophy.

The Frenchman, who joined from Mainz initially on loan in 2021, has been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park, with Aston Villa, Manchester United and Marseille among the clubs credited with an interest.
