Crystal Palace have identified Joël Piroe, a 26-year-old Dutch striker from Leeds United, as a potential replacement for Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is the subject of strong links regarding a move away from Selhurst Park. The London club has made an official enquiry for Piroe, who has not received regular playing time under Daniel Farke. It is understood that Leeds are also seeking a new striker, which has led to speculation that they may consider offers for Piroe, though any negotiations could depend on their ability to secure a replacement. According to sources within Elland Road, the player is not actively seeking an exit and is prepared to compete for his position, with the club not expected to force a move. Crystal Palace's interest is driven by Jean-Philippe Mateta reportedly agreeing personal terms with AC Milan and trying to secure a departure before the transfer period ends. Piroe joined Leeds from Swansea City in August 2023 for a reported €14 million, has a contract until June 2027 and has made 10 appearances in the Premier League this season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €15.00m, and several other clubs, including Celtic and Leicester City, have also been linked with him.
