Crystal Palace shareholder John Textor 'plans to sell Jean-Philippe Mateta to his other club' in a controversial move next summer

Crystal Palace shareholder John Textor reportedly plans to sell the team's top goalscorer Jean-Philippe Mateta to one of his European clubs next summer.

The 27-year-old Frenchman scored a brace in a 2-0 win last week to help his team gain three points in the Premier League against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

His performance helped Palace boost their place in the table, as they are currently in 12th place with 30 points.

Overall, Mateta has emerged as a regular starter in his last three seasons at Selhurst Park, scoring 10 goals and delivering one assist during the current campaign.
