Mateta could be heading to Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 on loan this month, while Mainz may even take him back for the rest of the term.
According to the Evening Standard, Palace manager Patrick Vieira is eager to add a replacement striker to his squad.
The source suggests that Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah is their prime target.
