West Ham are lining up Glenn Hoddle to replace Gianfranco Zola as their manager.

West Ham sit just three points above the drop zone with seven games to play. Elsewhere, Manchester City want Palermo striker Edinson Cavani; Liverpool winger Albert Riera hopes to join a Russian club this week to boost his chances of playing for Spain at the World Cup; Inter Milan are set to launch a bid for Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas; and Arjen Robben has called for Chelsea and Real Madrid target Franck Ribery to stay at Bayern Munich.
