Strand Larsen and domino deals
- Published
If the Jorgen Strand Larsen move to Crystal Palace falls through, it could have an impact on Jean-Philippe Mateta's anticipated exit from Selhurst Park before Monday's transfer deadline.
The 28-year-old France forward has told Palace he wants to leave this month, with the Eagles increasingly open to sanctioning his departure.
Nottingham Forest have already seen a £35m offer rejected by Palace and are set to accelerate their efforts to sign Mateta in the coming days - while Juventus and AC Milan are among other clubs to have shown a concrete interest in the striker.
Mateta is understood to want to play Champions League football, but is open to a move to the City Ground.
Palace want a replacement before sanctioning Mateta's exit - and are set to sign versatile attacker Evann Guessand on loan from Aston Villa.
However, it is unclear whether the Eagles want a new recognised centre-forward through the door before allowing Mateta to leave.
