According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, Tottenham Hotspur is interested in acquiring Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta. Spurs will face competition from AC Milan for the French striker.
Mateta’s Strong Performance in the Premier League
Mateta has been performing well for Crystal Palace, contributing significantly in attack. This season, he has scored ten goals and provided two assists in 34 matches across various competitions.
The 28-year-old has been effective in his role, averaging 2.55 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League, with 48.1% of his attempts on target (stats via fbref.com).
His contract with the club runs until the summer of 2027, so Spurs might have the chance to sign him at a reduced price at the end of this season.
