Lambert a Nuno hoper
WOLVES are in talks with Nuno Espirito Santo about replacing Paul Lambert as boss. The club’s Chinese owners Fosun are being advised by agent Jorge Mendes – and Espirito Santo is one of his clients. The Portuguese is keen to manage in England having left Porto this week. Lambert is still manager, but with Mendes calling the shots on transfers, it seems unlikely he will be at Molineux for much longer.
WEST BROM, Newcastle and Crystal Palace all want Celtic defender Jozo Simunovic. Red Bull Leipzig, Sevilla and Espanyol are also on his trail. Celtic face a battle to hold on to the Croatia star, 22, valued at around £10million. Newcastle lead the race for the centre-back after scouting him many times.
