Tottenham Hotspur reportedly opened conversations with Crystal Palace about a deal to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta in the summer window, according to Sky Sports Journalist Kaveh Solhekol.

After the departure of Michael Olise, Ebereechi Eze settled as a talismanic figure. However, Arsenal has succeeded in securing its services by publishing a great fee this summer.
Marc Guehi was heavily connected to a move this summer and was very close to Liverpool on Deadline Day. The South London Club, however, finally managed to hold him.
Adam Wharton has also placed himself on the radar of various large clubs, with Real Madrid and Manchester United reportedly a blow to him.
Now, Solhkol(Via Givemessport) claims that Atalanta, AC Milan, Juventus and a few Premier League clubs were interested in signing Mateta this summer.
Mateta to Tottenham
Tottenham was also in this race and opened conversations with Crystal Palace to inquire about the details of signing the Frenchman leaves in the recently closed summer window.
Man Utd was also connected to a movement for him before he purchased Benjamin Sesko. However, the South London Club has succeeded in holding him.
In the end, the North London club decided to strengthen the attacking department by signing Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain on a seasonal loan agreement on Deadline Day.
The 28-year-old is appreciated by around £ 26 million Transfer market And has been entered into the last two years of his current contract. Therefore, although Crystal Palace did not allow his departure this summer, they might be open to let him leave next year.
Mateta, standing on 6ft 3 in a long time, is a leading player and this season enjoyed a promising start and scored three goals in six performances in all competitions.
It becomes interesting to see if Tottenham decides to breathe new life into their interest in signing Mateta to strengthen the front line next summer or to sign Kolo Muani permanently.
