Born in Sevran in the Paris suburbs, Mateta developed at Châteauroux and Lyon before moving to Germany with Mainz. Crystal Palace signed him, where the powerful target striker became a prolific Premier League goalscorer and FA Cup winner. He earned a late France call-up and provides a physical striking alternative in 2026.
- Won the Olympic football silver medal with France at Paris 2024 as an overage player
- Established himself in the Premier League with Crystal Palace
