Mateta's Crystal Palace contract talks stall

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta's long-term future is uncertain with talks over a new contract understood to have stalled.

The France international's existing deal expires in June 2027 - and initial discussions over fresh terms earlier this year were described as positive by well-placed sources.

But a resolution is still to be found with insiders indicating Mateta is in no rush to commit his future to the Eagles.

Mateta has established himself as one of the most dangerous centre forwards in the Premier League, with his form helping him break into the France team.
