Premier League transfers: Former Newcastle flop on the move | Chelsea want Zidane | Arsenal, Tottenham & Liverpool in news

Newcastle United could be set to move for an Italian defender, while a former St James's Park flop could be set for a big-money move to a Champions League side.

Today's back pages suggest that it might not just be players on the move either, with a number of high-profile managers linked with switches.

Here's the news hitting the headlines today:
