"The strikers are a concern for Crystal Palace, he told Football Insider. Not just on the pitch because we know they've struggled for goals, but off it as well, because Mateta's contract situation is going to become a problem. There's so much uncertainty about him and whether he might leave, because it doesn't look like he's going to sign a new deal at the moment."
"Nketiah has never really got started at Palace and he keeps picking up these injuries, you get the feeling they'd be open to replacing him if the opportunity came along. So they're looking at strikers, younger ones for the future and potential replacements for now, in case they have to go out and replace Mateta and Nketiah. Mateta has been an excellent performer for Crystal Palace over the years, but he has not been at his best this season."
Crystal Palace are seeking a reliable goal scorer to strengthen their attacking unit. Concerns exist over Jean-Philippe Mateta's contract situation and the possibility he might leave. Eddie Nketiah has struggled to establish himself at Palace and has recurrent injury problems. The club are evaluating younger strikers as long-term options and possible immediate replacements. Crystal Palace have assembled an impressive squad and are competing in European football. Recent trophies include the FA Cup and the Community Shield. The team require further quality additions to sustain success and to add a reliable finisher who could transform the attacking third.
