EPL Gossip Wednesday January 20th
West Ham are considering a move to take out-of-favour striker Jo from Everton. The Brazilian is currently on a season-long loan at Goodison Park from Manchester City. Daily Post
Remember seeing Jo in his CSKA Moscow days thinking he could be in line to replace Adriano in the Brazilian national team setup. Since then he has been passed around from Manchester City to Everton and now possibly West Ham.
West Ham’s new owners could try to lure Fulham striker Bobby Zamora back to Upton Park, 18 months after he left the club. Daily Mirror
Don’t see any reason for Zamora to leave Fulham for West Ham. Some moves are side ways moves, this one would be a downwards move. Zamora had people talking him up for England at Fulham. At West Ham he was just a guy.
Tottenham full-back Alan Hutton could also be on his way to West Ham, with Bordeaux’s Mathieu Chalme his replacement in the Spurs defence. Daily Mirror
It wouldn’t be the worst move West Ham could make since Hutton due to injury or team form has never been given a regular place in the Tottenham set up.
Manchester United and Chelsea are battling it out to sign 18-year-old Spanish attacking midfielder Sergio Canales, who can leave Racing Santander in the summer when his contract runs out. Daily Mirror
If Real Madrid are really interested in Canales than it will be Real Madrid who signs him.
Galatasaray are also monitoring Ryan Babel’s situation at Liverpool after the winger fell out with manager Rafael Benitez. The Times
Add Galatasaray to the list of teams Ryan Babel would turn down a move too.
Midfielder Mathieu Flamini could become yet another ex-Arsenal player to join Manchester City – on loan from AC Milan. Daily Mirror
Flamini would feel right at home considering Manchester City is a landing spot for ex Arsenal players.
AC Milan striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar could also be heading to England in a bid to get regular first-team football ahead of the World Cup, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham likely to be interested.

Neither of the teams listed could promise Huntelaar regular playing time week in and week out. Maybe Liverpool but only while Torres is hurt.
