David Moyes would be a contender to replace Oliver Glasner as Crystal Palace boss if the Eagles decide to make a change in the dugout.

Glasner is under increasing pressure after matching Palace’s longest winless start to a Premier League season with Monday’s 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest. 

Moyes recently told talkSPORT he is enjoying his time away from football despite interest from a number of clubs and national teams – but would a return to the Premier League tempt him back?Getty

Big things were expected from Palace this season after a strong end to the previous campaign, but it’s been a horror start for Glasner’s menGetty

Moyes is ready to return to management after leaving West Ham at the end of last season and offers the option of a firefighting-type appointment to stave off the threat of relegation.

Palace owner Steve Parish also has a long-standing admiration for out-of-work former Chelsea boss Graham Potter.

Glasner still has credit in the bank with Parish after steering Palace to their best ever Premier League finish of tenth last season. 

But with a home game against Tottenham on Saturday followed by a trip to Aston Villa, the Eagles could easily be looking at failing to win any of their first ten games. 

Kyle Walk-ing away?

Manchester City are unlikely to stand in Kyle Walker’s way if he decides he wants to leave at the end of the season for one final pay-day.

England international Walker, who turns 35 in May, is the subject of strong interest from Ivan Toney’s Saudi Arabian Pro League side Al-Ahli.

Despite being club captain, veteran Walker is no longer guaranteed a starting place at the Etihad Stadium.

That’s thanks largely to the excellent early season form of 19-year-old Three Lions teammate Rico Lewis.

City also have a policy of not keeping players against their will and, with his contract due to expire in the summer of 2026, now is the time for Walker to seriously assess his next move.

Walker is not the only big-name City star whose future is uncertain, as midfielder Kevin De Bruyne also has offers from both Saudi Arabia and the MLS.

Eagle-eyed Cherries

Bournemouth are relaxed over the future of sought-after Antoine Semenyo, talkSPORT understands.

Semenyo is attracting attention from the likes of Newcastle and Tottenham after making a stellar start to the season.

The 24-year-old has spoken publicly about his desire to one day play in the Champions League.

The Cherries only tied Semenyo down to a new five-year contract in the summer.

It means the club can demand a huge fee for the ex-Bristol City man.

West Ham’s Fullkrug regret?

West Ham are searching the market for a new No.9 due to growing concerns over the fitness of summer signing Niclas Fullkrug.

Since his £27million move from Borussia Dortmund, Fullkrug has been able to make just three substitute appearances in the Premier League.

Fullkrug was initially seen a a huge coup for West Ham after his impressive Euros with Germany – but it has not worked outWest Ham United FC

It’s raised question marks over the wisdom of technical director Tim Steidten’s decision to buy a 31-year-old with a poor injury history, despite being praised for his performances at Euro 2024.

The Germany international was not even on the bench for Saturday’s 4-1 thrashing at Tottenham – the sixth successive match he has missed with an ongoing Achilles issue.

In Fullkrug’s absence, Michail Antonio has led the line up front, but manager Julen Lopetegui does not see the Jamaican as a long-term solution, and is putting pressure on the hierarchy to dip into their pockets in January.

One potential target is Panathinaikos front-man Fotis Ioannidis, who was on the Hammers’ shortlist in the summer.
