Administrator Stan Posted August 22, 2023 Administrator Share Posted August 22, 2023 Apart from Barnes, this one will hurt if he does leave. Too good for the Championship but a proven goalscorer and just all-round decent guy Quote Crystal Palace will make a move for Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho should Jean-Philippe Mateta leave this summer. Iheanacho, 26, is deemed important to relegated Leicester's bid to return to the Premier League but Roy Hodgson has made him one of his top transfer targets. The Foxes do not want to lose Iheanacho, but Palace know he will be available on a cut-price deal with his contract set to expire next summer. Hodgson is desperate to add goals to his frontline after club legend Wilfried Zaha departed for Galatasaray, and knows Mateta is ready to explore a move away with both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig interested.

Dave Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I think he's a good player, but from what I've seen he plays better in a front two which I can't see us playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted August 22, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted August 22, 2023 The problem with it being specifically Palace is I think it basically ends our chances that we have both him and Rak-Sakyi in our side this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 This sounds like it's happening. I vaguely remember his best spell at Leicester being in a two up top, which I can't see happening here whilst Eze is fit. So I remain reserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
