Torino keen on Crystal Palaceโ€™s Jean-Philippe Mateta

Serie A side Torino are keen on the possibility of signing Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta this summer.

Gianluca di Marzio has reported that while Il Toro had tried to sign the Frenchman in January too, the attempts didnโ€™t materialise into a transfer. But they are now back in the hunt for him and are trying to sign the 25-year-old this summer.

Apart from Torino, newly promoted Serie A outfit Genoa are also interested and there is said to be no shortage of interest in Mateta, who has failed to make a mark at the London side since joining from German side Mainz initially on loan in the summer of 2021 and then permanently in the summer of 2022.

In the 2022/23 season, Mateta found the back of the net only twice in 29 appearances and he was often forced to play in the clubโ€™s Reserves side too. Last season, he had scored five times for the Eagles.
