Glasner in the frame for United job
“And striker Jean-Philippe Mateta could also be on his way as his contract has just 18 months left and Palace could be forced to cash in.
“It was a remarkable whirlwind at Selhurst Park as Glasner dropped his bombshell to his players on Friday morning.
“His departure puts him firmly in the frame for the Manchester United job as he is on their shortlist.”

Leeds keen on Strand Larsen
After interest from West Ham and Newcastle, Leeds United are the latest side who could consider a move for Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen.
The Norwegian, however, may be too expensive for Leeds given Profit and Sustainability concerns.
“The West Yorkshire side are yet to make an offer and there is no guarantee the situation develops – given the competition for his signature and their need to comply with the Premier League’s financial rules – but the admiration has been expressed.
“The Athletic reported earlier this month that Nottingham Forest were considering a move for Strand Larsen after Chris Wood underwent knee surgery, which is set to sideline him for months. Strand Larsen was part of a four-man striker shortlist but Iran international Mehdi Taremi of Olympiacos emerged as the leading contender.”
Chelsea to profit from Guehi deal
Chelsea are reportedly keen to add a central defender to their ranks this January, and could receive a helpful boost in that pursuit.
They stand to benefit from a 20% sell-on clause inserted in their deal to sell Marc Guehi to Crystal Palace, and he is set for a £20 million move to Manchester City.
“The centre-back, 25, is on the verge of completing a cut-price switch to the Etihad Stadium.
“Premier League title chasers Man City have agreed a £20 million fee for Guehi after he was earmarked as a priority target.
“And Chelsea are set for an instant windfall when the mid-season move goes through.
“The West Londoners included a genius clause which allows them to pocket 20% of any fee Palace clinch.”
West Ham Nuno decision looms
West Ham co-owner David Sullivan backed Nuno Espirito Santo in the market this January, but saw his side lose to Nottingham Forest and Wolves in recent weeks.
The i Paper suggests that a defeat against Tottenham could prompt the club to change their mind on the manager’s future.
“Who could be tempted to replace him given West Ham’s plight is another question, however.
“Nuno’s struggles at West Ham have come as a surprise to those who watched his Forest side qualify for Europe for the first time in 30 years last season, but not to anyone familiar with West Ham’s squad.
“While Forest’s strength was their resilience and speed on the counter-attack West Ham lack both qualities, and Nuno has proved unable or unwilling to alter his preferred style of play.”
