The contract situation with Jean-Philippe Mateta is the latest twist to what has been a rollercoaster time for the Frenchman at Crystal Palace. The 29-year-old has become a cult hero at the Eagles because of his trademark celebration where he kicks the corner flag to shouts of "boom" from supporters, while the striker also scored the winning goal in the final as Palace won the Conference League last season. It has not always been smooth sailing for Mateta, though.
