Jean-Philippe Mateta
Crystal Palace have confirmed the permanent signing of striker Jean-Philippe Mateta from German club Mainz 05.
The 24-year-old Frenchman, originally signed on a loan deal a year ago, has made the move long term by signing a four and a half year deal.
He told cpfc.co.uk: “I’m happy. I want to say thank you to the gaffer [Patrick Vieira], he trusted in me. And [thank you to] Dougie [Freedman], the Chairman [Steve Parish] and the team and the fans also, and my family.”
Chairman Steve Parish added: “We are delighted to secure the long-term future of Jean-Philippe. Coming to a new country, a new team and a new league is not easy and JP worked incredibly hard to get and then take his opportunities.
“He really has shown the aptitude, attitude and dedication we look for along with his natural footballing ability. I’m looking forward to seeing much more of him in a Palace shirt.”
