Crystal Palace hold extensive talks with former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo

Nuno Espírito Santo has emerged as the frontrunner for the vacant Crystal Palace job.

Roy Hodgson departed Selhurst Park at the end of the season after four years managing the South London club.

Reports claim that Nuno has held three days of talks with the Eagles.

But Palace could have to act fast as the former Porto manager has been linked with the vacant Tottenham and Everton jobs.

The 47-year-old led Wolves to the Championship title in the 2017-18 season and then steered them to two consecutive seasons in the Europa League.

He left Wolves by mutual consent two weeks ago.

Steve Cooper, Frank Lampard and Valerian Ismael have also been spoken to by the Crystal Palace hierarchy as they weigh up their options.
