"He's been instrumental in Palaces success in the last 18 months with 17 goals last season, 46 appearances, he's carried that fine form into this season. Spurs have been there with a number of strikers in recent weeks and months. It does seem like it's an area of the team they would like to strengthen. Mateta could be a good fit for them and everything, but I don't see any deal happening in January."
"It is no secret that Tottenham need another quality striker. Dominic Solanke and Richarlison have not been able to find the back of the net regularly. Mateta is a reliable striker, and he has shown his quality in the Premier League regularly. He could make an instant impact. However, Tottenham will have to wait until the summer transfer window to sign him."
Jean-Philippe Mateta, 28, has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur but remains contracted to Crystal Palace until summer 2027. Palace are not under pressure to sell in January and are unlikely to let a key player depart mid-season. Mateta scored 17 goals last season in 46 appearances and has continued his good form this term. Tottenham need attacking reinforcements because Dominic Solanke and Richarlison have struggled for goals. Mateta is viewed as a reliable Premier League striker who could make an immediate impact. Any move is more likely in the summer, potentially summer 2026 when his transfer value could be lower.
