Crystal Palace have made a decision on Oliver Glasner’s future as the club’s manager, with sack talk being played down at Selhurst Park.

Arsenal's Eberechi Eze has revealed the inner workings of his relationship with former Crystal Place team-mates Michael Olise and Jean-Phillippe Mateta on the latest episode of the Beast Mode On podcast.

A Kylian Mbappe-less France secured a comeback, 3-1 win over a plucky Azerbaijan to end their World Cup qualifying campaign on a high. Didier Deschamps made 11 changes from the team that thumped Ukraine 4-0 in midweek, and early on they appeared to miss their biggest stars.
Jean-Philippe Mateta insists he and Wilfried Zaha have cleared the air after their public spat last week.

Wilfried Zaha has launched a scathing attack on Jean-Phillipe Mateta, branding claims from his former Crystal Palace team-mate “disgusting”.

Crystal Palace hero Jean-Philippe Mateta has hinted he could leave the club in the near future as he wants to compete for the "Champions League and the biggest trophies".

The Frenchman also played a key role in the Eagles winning the FA Cup, beating Manchester City in the final.
Manchester United have been told they should have signed Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta over Benjamin Sesko in the summer transfer window. United endured a dire 2024-25 season upfront, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combining for just seven Premier League goals. That failure forced the club to throw big money at RB Leipzig’s Sesko, while also bringing in Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
