(The Independent) Everton have been linked with moves for Zenit St Petersburg's Russia captain Andrei Arshavin and CSKA Moscow's Brazilian midfielder Dudu. (Various) The Toffees are also in the chase for Portsmouth midfielder Sean Davis, who manager David Moyes sees as a replacement for the out-of-contract Lee Carsley. (Daily Mirror) Davis and his Portsmouth team-mate Pedro Mendes could leave Fratton Park in the summer as boss Harry Redknapp seeks to raise cash to buy Liverpool striker Peter Crouch.

(The Sun) Kevin Keegan could be poised to move for Liverpool's beleaguered John Arne Riise after the Newcastle manager admitted left-backs are high on his summer shopping shortlist. (The Guardian) NOT After Last Night Fredrikstad's £4m-rated striker Tarik Elyounoussi is being watched by Tottenham, Blackburn and Wigan after firing his side to the top of the Norwegian league. (Daily Mail) Manager Claudio Ranieri wants his old Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini at Juventus. (Daily Mirror) Liverpool's Rafael Benitez and Manchester City's Sven-Goran Eriksson are on Valencia's hit list to replace axed boss Ronald Koeman. (The Sun) Aston Villa are ready to take on Newcastle in a £250,000 tussle for Bournemouth striker Sam Vokes, 18.

(The Sun) Sheffield Wednesday striker Francis Jeffers, 27, will travel to Holland later this week for an operation on a career-threatening ankle injury. (Daily Mail) Back to top AND FINALLY Derby boss Paul Jewell has had little luck backing winners this season. Not only has his side been relegated to the Championship but his two horses - Quite a Splash and Dame De Balme - have also been flops. Quite a Splash failed to finish in the first three in 11 races, while Dame De Balme was pulled up the only time she raced. But Jewell's luck could be about to change as he has bought Starstruck Peter - who has already won in Wolverhampton. There's nothing I can do for him at Derby but I'll be doing my absolute best to cheer him up with his horses," said Jewell's trainer Sean Curran.
