One week until transfer deadline day - who could be on the move?

Several Premier League players are the subject of transfer speculation as the winter transfer window approaches its deadline on February 2nd at 19:00 GMT. Clubs are aiming to strengthen their squads, whether to pursue European qualification or to secure their top-flight status.

Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta is a prominent figure in the rumors, having expressed his desire to leave the club. Palace is considering offers for the 28-year-old Frenchman, whose contract has 18 months remaining. He is valued at approximately £40 million, with Juventus and Aston Villa reportedly leading the pursuit. Other linked clubs include AC Milan, Tottenham, and Nottingham Forest.

Palace faces a dilemma in potentially selling their top scorer amidst a difficult period. The team has earned only two Premier League points since early December, suffered a historic FA Cup upset, lost captain Marc Guehi to Manchester City, and will see manager Oliver Glasner depart in the summer. While currently positioned to avoid relegation, a continuation of poor form could lead to a challenging end to their season.

Additionally, the article references Strand Larsen, who was a target for Newcastle United in the previous summer transfer window.
