Crystal Palace complete permanent transfer for Jean-Philippe Mateta

Crystal Palace have turned Jean-Philippe Mateta’s loan move into a permanent transfer.
Mateta signed for the Eagles on an 18-month loan deal from German club SV Mainz last January.
The 24-year-old has scored 66 goals in 154 career appearances.
Mateta has not made the amount of appearances needed for Palace to have an obligation to sign him. But the South Londoners have negotiated a lower fee.
Mateta, who has signed a contract until the summer of 2026, said: “I’m happy. I want to say thank you to the gaffer [Patrick Vieira], he trusted in me. And [thank you to] Dougie [Freedman], the chairman [Steve Parish] and the team and the fans also, and my family.”

Chairman Steve Parish added: “We are delighted to secure the long-term future of Jean-Philippe. Coming to a new country, a new team and a new league is not easy and JP worked incredibly hard to get and then take his opportunities.

“He really has shown the aptitude, attitude and dedication we look for along with his natural footballing ability. I’m looking forward to seeing much more of him in a Palace shirt.”
