Roy Hodgson will not work after Crystal Palace
Roy Hodgson is "extremely doubtful" he will be job hunting no matter how or when his second spell at Crystal Palace comes to an end. The 76-year-old, who is under contract until the end of the season, is well aware of rumours that his bosses at the relegation-threatened, injury-plagued south London side are actively seeking his replacement.
On Friday he said: "The fact is that this is my last spell in football. When (Palace chairman) Steve (Parish) and (sporting director) Doug (Freedman) came and said 'We think we'd like you and Ray to come back for another season' I said 'That's great, I'd love to do it'. But then, there was never any question, well, I'll come back and then after six months and we'll discuss a new contract. It was all nice and clear that I would come back and I would try to do the job that they asked me to do for one year, and then I will stop. Will I seek a new job after that? I would say that is extremely doubtful."
However, Hodgson tempered that sentiment by adding: "But then, why should I say necessarily I don't want to work in football, because there might be someone who offers me something to do within the world of football that actually suits me."
Arsenal looking to loan Marquinhos out to Fluminese
According to the Sunday Mirror, Arsenal are finalising a deal with Fluminense to transfer winger Marquinhos back to Brazil on loan. The agreement is also believed to have a permanent transfer clause. The 20-year-old joined the Gunners from Sao Paulo in the summer of 2022 and has only made one league appearance to date. He spent the second half of the season on loan at Norwich.
Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes squashes transfer rumours
Bruno Guimaraes maintains he is content at Newcastle despite frequent speculation of a move away from the club. Guimaraes shined in his team's 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday Night Football, scoring twice.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Guimaraes said: "Sometimes the people speak a lot about me, I just think about football. I'm happy here, in this club doing my best. I love the way the fans like me so I focus on my football and let the people speak. Sometimes (people speak about me leaving Newcastle). I'm very happy here, enjoy it a lot. I never felt so much love for the fans like here. They've been unbelievable for me and my family so I try to play for fans. So I hope I can keep going here for as long as possible."
Rodrygo wants Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid
Real Madrid's Rodrygo has said that he would "love" for Kylian Mbappe to join the club and called the Frenchman "one of the best in the world".
Rodrygo said: "I would love Mbappe to come. I always want to play with the best players and he's one of the best in the world. I can't talk much about him. He's a PSG player and I have to respect him."
Newcastle United keeping an eye on Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly

Liverpool and Tottenham were reportedly interested in the versatile defender during the January transfer window. Other clubs that are known to have made offers for the player include AC Milan, Monaco, and Stuttgart.
Man Utd target Jean-Clair Todibo drops hint over future
Nice star Jean-Clair Todibo has dropped a major hint over a potential summer transfer amid links with Manchester United and Chelsea.
The ex-Barcelona man said: "I am at Nice and we're having a great season. I don't have my head elsewhere. If I did it would be difficult for me personally and for the group too. I feel really good at Nice. We'll see what happens in the summer but we're not there yet. I don't want to get ahead of myself. I don't want to give false hope. For now, I'm here at Nice. Football moves quickly, you never know what's going to happen. I'll wait until the summer to make my decision. If my decision is to stay, I'll announce it, if it is to leave, I'll announce it too and I'll thank everyone, but we're not there yet."
Todibo added: "There are important games coming up. The goal is that if it is to be my final season at Nice, then I want to leave here having done something beautiful with the club. The supporters and the club deserve players who give everything on the pitch, and to achieve something substantial. Personally, if I am to leave, I want to leave something good behind."
Tosin Adarabioyo being watched by Liverpool
Tosin Adarabioyo is allegedly being watched by Liverpool in anticipation of a summer transfer, as per the Mail on Sunday.

Mourinho ready to take charge of Bayern Munich
According to a report from BILD, Jose Mourinho is reportedly ready to take charge at Bayern Munich if the club decide to part ways with Thomas Tuchel after the defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.
The report also claimed that a section of the Bayern fans protested against Tuchel on Sunday as they put up 'Tuchel out' posters at the club's training centre. The Portuguese manager has reportedly started learning German.
Arsenal and Chelsea to compete for La Liga star
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal and Chelsea are set to compete for Athletic Club winger Nico Williams in the summer.
Speaking to Caughtoffside, Romano said, "Arsenal have also sent their scouts to follow Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao multiple times, and it's the same for Chelsea as they included him in the list last summer. The race is completely open, and nothing has advanced with either club so far. He'd be great in the Premier League in my opinion – a physical and technical player; very good one."
