He looks like he&#8217;ll be available, Palace would be happy to let him go and I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s a lot of clubs that are going to be looking at him and keeping an eye on him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">&#8220;He has been performing in the Premier League for Palace for a few years now, showing that he can score goals and his track record proves how good he is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">&#8220;He is also a French international.

But he remains at Palace for now.<\/p>\n<p>The striker has scored 10 goals this season and there is no doubt that he could be a very lucrative signing for Newcastle if a deal goes through.<\/p>\n<p>The French international has consistently shown his quality in the Premier League, and he is certainly capable enough to play at Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunity to join them could be exciting for him. They have ambitious projects and are one of the richest clubs in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle have had a disappointing season and are fighting for a place in the top half. Increasing the quality of the attacking units will only lead to further improvements in the attacking units. Whether they can complete the deal remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle United are looking to strengthen their attacking line-up in the final stages of the season, with Crystal Palace&#8217;s Jean-Philippe Mateta a target.
