Segunda Division B side Talavera&nbsp;have sacked head coach&nbsp;Fran Alcoy.

Sporting Lisbon&nbsp;midfielder&nbsp;Joao Palhinha is the subject of interest from Wolves - according to <a href="https://www.ojogo.pt/futebol/1a-liga/sporting/noticias/-palhinha-metido-na-boca-do-lobo-as-negociacoes-e-o-valor-que-o-sporting-quer-12173988.html?target=conteudo_fechado" target="_blank">O Jogo</a>. The 24-year-old is currently on loan at Sporting Braga, and shone in two Europa League matches against Wolves earlier this season. The Premier League outfit could launch a summer swoop for&nbsp;Palhinha, who is likely to be available for a fee within the region of €15 million (£13m/$16m).

Ryan Fraser "would be a great signing" for Spurs, according to Darren Bent, who can see the Bournemouth star slotting into Jose Mourinho's front three nicely. Fraser joined Bournemouth from&nbsp;Aberdeen&nbsp;back in 2013, and has since racked up 208 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 24 goals. The 26-year-old helped the Cherries gain promotion to the Premier League in 2015, but missed their first season in the top flight after being sent out on loan to Ipswich.

The 19-year-old has impressed in a breakthrough campaign but isn't likely to take Trent Alexander-Arnold's first-team spot any time soon. Wilson was sent to Crewe, Hull, Derby and now Bournemouth on loan, moving up through the divisions as he gained first-team experience.

The 25-year-old Iran international would reportedly cost €15 million (£13m/$16m), but Napoli would need to free up a slot for another non-EU player in their squad.
