Jean-Philippe Mateta is the target of Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur to strengthen their attacking lines in January. The Premier League transfer market never stops.

According to Football Insider, Crystal Palace plans to negotiate the transfer of the French forward at a reduced price in winter to prevent him from leaving the club as a free agent when his contract expires in June 2027.

Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur's Needs Up Front

The interest from Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur comes as they seek offensive alternatives following the summer transfer market movements. Birmingham's club signed Nicolás Jackson from Chelsea after selling Ollie Watkins to the Saudi League, while the London team brought in Omar Marmoush on loan from Manchester City with a purchase option.

Despite these additions, Tottenham Hotspur's board is considering Richarlison's exit during the winter window, creating a spot in the attacking roster. Meanwhile, Aston Villa's management is searching for a key player to share the Premier League minutes load.

Crystal Palace's Contractual Situation and Jean-Philippe Mateta's Injury

The 28-year-old forward communicated to Crystal Palace's board his desire to leave Selhurst Park with only 12 months remaining on his contract. However, a hamstring injury suffered during training halted any negotiations before the summer deadline.

Due to the lack of agreement on a contract renewal, the London club acknowledges that the January window is the final opportunity to receive a transfer fee. If no sale is completed in England, the player will be free to negotiate a pre-contract with foreign clubs as of January 1, 2027 for the 2027-2028 season.

The executives of Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur will assess the performance of their respective forwards during October and November 2026. Both clubs will begin discussions with Crystal Palace in December 2026 to set the final transfer amount before the reopening of the transfer market.
