"Arsenal and Liverpool are keeping an eye on Jean-Philippe Mateta amid some uncertainty over his future at Crystal Palace, as reported first in this exclusive for the Daily Briefing. The France international has been a prolific scorer in his time in the Premier League, and it makes sense that this has sparked interest from bigger clubs. As previously reported, there have also been some signs of interest from Manchester United, Tottenham, and Newcastle, even if the latest information suggests it's Arsenal and Liverpool who are the main teams to watch."
"Mateta is yet to decide his future, but there are talks ongoing with Palace, according to sources, with mixed messages coming out about how likely he is to agree to a new deal.

We'll have to see how things pan out, but it looks like Mateta will have other tempting offers to consider, so perhaps he's waiting to see if the Arsenal and Liverpool interest develops into anything more concrete."
"The Gunners could perhaps do with more cover up front as both Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz have been very injury prone, while Viktor Gyokeres hasn't made the most convincing start to life at the Emirates Stadium. Liverpool are also yet to see the best of expensive summer signing Alexander Isak, so perhaps there's a role for Mateta at Anfield too."

The France international has been a prolific Premier League scorer, attracting interest previously linked to Manchester United, Tottenham, and Newcastle. Recent signals suggest more optimism within Palace about retaining Mateta than a month ago, but mixed messages persist about a new deal. Arsenal require forward cover due to injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres' slow start. Liverpool have yet to see the best of Alexander Isak. Palace face squad and contract challenges after losing Eberechi Eze and with Marc Guehi nearing free agency.
