Crystal Palace planning to re-open contract talks with Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Crystal Palace were quite busy on transfer deadline day as they completed moves for Maxence Lacoix and Eddie Nketiah.
The Eagles also brought in Trevoh Chalobah and Matt Turner to Selhurst Park on loan from Chelsea and Nottingham Forest respectively.
However, they lost Sam Johnstone to Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal worth around £10 million.
Jean-Philippe Mateta also had interest from clubs in the Premier League and overseas but the South Londoners maintained the striker is not for sale.
Now the Sunday Mirror (September 1, Page 68) are reporting Crystal Palace are planning to re-open contract talks with the 27-year-old.
His stocks have received a massive boost following his impressive goalscoring feats last season.

Now the Sunday Mirror (September 1, Page 68) are reporting Crystal Palace are planning to re-open contract talks with the 27-year-old.
His stocks have received a massive boost following his impressive goalscoring feats last season.
In 39 appearances across all competitions, the Frenchman struck 19 goals and provided five assists to help his side finish 10th in the league.
Mateta, who is currently on £50,000-a-week wages at Selhurst Park, also caught the eye in the summer as he helped his nation win an Olympic silver medal.
He has started both Premier League matches for the Eagles this campaign but is yet to register a goal or an assist.
Manager Oliver Glasner is said to be an admirer of the 27-year-old and wants to keep him amid interest from several European clubs.
His current deal expires in 2026 but Palace are keen to offer him an extension as well as a pay rise.
