Mateta ready for Palace departure

Experienced striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is ready to leave Crystal Palace this winter.

The 26-year-old is not happy with the bit part role he is playing under Roy Hodgson.

Per The Standard, Palace are not against the idea of Mateta moving on either.

His signing has not worked out, as he has only started 19 games in the past two years.

Clubs can sign him for a little more than £8 million, with Palace targeting Leicester's Kelechi Iheanacho as a replacement.

The London-based side may want to start a bidding war for Mateta, with Eintracht Frankfurt also interested.
