From the source
Jean-Philippe Mateta is shaping up to be one of the more intriguing Premier League transfer stories ahead of January, with Nottingham Forest now pushing into a race that already features Manchester United.
According to TeamTalk, the Crystal Palace striker is “increasingly likely to leave Selhurst Park in January”, a development that could trigger a significant battle for a proven top-flight goalscorer.
The 29-year-old has long appeared unsettled at Palace and the latest reporting points to a situation that has been building for some time. It is claimed Mateta “has made little secret of his desire to leave Palace over the past couple of years”, with frustration stemming from the club’s reluctance to offer improved terms.
