AS Saint-Etienne : Mercato: drama in the Mateta file! | ASSE News

Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: Laurent Hess’ editorial on the management of Bilal Benkhedim’s hope

The Jean-Philippe Mateta case (24 years old) is not going quite as planned. Announced at ASSE for this weekend, the ex-OL forward will have to put his initial plans on the back burner after scoring a nice header yesterday against Milwall in the Cup.

“Thank you for your support today and Friday for the match against Brighton,” he has already slipped after the match, as if to better signal his loyalty to the supporters of the Eagles. This setback has since been confirmed.

“Big stand-by in the Mateta file in Saint-Etienne,” Marc Mechenoua from Goal slipped last night. Crystal Palace is giving himself time to consider whether to let go of their striker who scored this afternoon in the FA Cup. His second goal in three games. The Sun confirms this trend and adds that the England club are keen to block Mateta until they find him a replacement. The case is therefore far from won if the Greens dream of welcoming the striker as soon as possible.

to summarize

In the small papers of ASSE in the winter transfer window, with even an arrival that was to occur this weekend, Jean-Philippe Mateta (24 years old) would now be blocked by the Crystal Palace of Patrick Vieira! Hard blow for the Greens.
