PERFECT FIT: WHY JEAN-PHILIPPE MATETA IS NOW A TOP TARGET FOR TOTTENHAM ATTACK
Mateta's nine goals and proven Premier League pedigree make him an ideal fit for Spurs' attack. His contract situation now gives the North London club a genuine opportunity.
On the Inside Track podcast, journalist Pete O’Rourke mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur is watching Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. O’Rourke said:
“I’m sure Tottenham will be watching what happens with Mateta.
“They made an offer for him near the end of last summer's transfer time, but Palace didn't accept it.
“He’s signed until 2027, but if he doesn’t agree to a new deal by next summer, you’d think Palace would be more willing to sell Mateta to get some money for him. They wouldn’t want to risk him leaving for free when his contract ends.
“That might give Spurs a chance to make a move for the Frenchman.
“He’s proven himself as a good striker in the Premier League over the past couple of seasons, so he’d be a really good fit for Spurs. There’s also talk of interest from AC Milan in Italy.”
Mateta’s Good Form in the Premier League
Mateta has been playing really well for the London club, with some good performances. The 28-year-old has scored nine goals and assisted two in 23 games for Crystal Palace this season in all competitions.
The French forward has been leading the attack for the Eagles, averaging 2.77 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. Almost half of his shots have been on target. But Mateta needs to pass the ball better, as he’s only completed about 65% of his passes in the English top league (stats via fbref.com).
Would Mateta Be A Good Fit For Tottenham Hotspur?
Mateta is good at finding space to take shots. He can also make key passes and is a decent dribbler.
The French player is tall and strong, which helps him win headers. But he needs to work on playing with his teammates in attack.
Mateta could add more scoring ability to Tottenham’s attack. He could definitely compete for a starting spot at the North London club in the next few years.
At 28, Mateta is in his best form, which makes him a solid option for Spurs in the near future.
VAR OUTRAGE: NUNO ESPíRITO SANTO FUMES AFTER RUTTER'S LATE, CONTROVERSIAL EQUALIZER
West Ham drops into the relegation zone after a controversial late goal by Rutter secured a draw for Brighton. Coach Nuno was furious, calling the unpunished incident an "obvious" foul.
It looked like West Ham was going to grab a victory in Sussex thanks to Jarrod Bowen's great goal. But then Rutter scored late in the game, tying things up.
The replays showed that the French player may have accidentally touched the ball with his hand before scoring. But the Premier League Match Centre put out a statement explaining why the goal was allowed.
The referee's call was looked at and confirmed by VAR. It was decided that Rutter's arm was in a normal position, and he didn't intentionally use his hand. Plus, the contact with his arm didn't directly lead to the goal, the statement said, agreeing with the VAR decision.
West Ham's coach, Nuno, was not happy with the call.
"It was a handball and a high foot," Nuno told Sky Sports.
“I don't even need to talk to the referee. I think it was the main thing in the game. It’s obvious. I saw it; everyone saw it. VAR saw it as well. Both things should be checked. It’s hard to accept, especially after how hard the team worked and the fans supported us, making us feel like we were in London.
“Then this happens, and everyone sees it. It’s tough to accept.”
Because of this result, West Ham is now in the relegation zone. If they had won, they would be in 17th place, out of the relegation zone.
West Ham falls back into the bottom three after a late goal ties the game.
SEAN DYCHE FUMES: FOREST REPORTS JAMES TARKOWSKI TO PGMOL AFTER 'VIOLENT' FOUL
Nottingham Forest has filed an official complaint with the PGMOL demanding a red card for Everton's James Tarkowski after an off-the-ball shoulder incident involving Dan Ndoye.
After James Tarkowski's off-the-ball incident with Dan Ndoye, Nottingham Forest filed a complaint with the PGMOL. The supposed foul occurred in the 11th minute of Forest’s 3-0 loss to Everton on Saturday.
Forest thinks Tarkowski's shoulder on Ndoye should have been seen as violent conduct, which means a red card. Referee Chris Kavanagh didn't see the play, and VAR official James Bell didn't think it was serious enough to change the call.
Sean Dyche said after the game, “I told Tarky that I respect him, but how did he get away with that in the first half? I don’t know what’s happening.
“The referee didn’t see it, and neither did the other officials, but VAR saw it and did nothing.
“I’m very surprised, and I already told Tarkowski I was going to say this. Also, the second goal bounced off the referee, which sent it right to their player.
“Those things happen when you’re not playing well, and you really don’t need them going against you.
“Everton seemed more motivated. I'm not talking about skill. I mean, they had more drive, and we didn't have enough. It's a reminder to our team that we need that baseline, and then our good play will follow.”
David Moyes said, "We’ve won four of the last five, with one bad game, the Newcastle game, but we’re winning, scoring, and keeping clean sheets."
If we want to be successful, we need to keep getting clean sheets, which we’re finally doing more often.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also commented, "Aside from the Newcastle defeat, we’re clicking and playing great." We were the better team, and they didn't cause us many issues.
Europe is a real goal. The club, ownership, and stadium all point to European football. Anything can happen, but we're moving in the right direction.
