Southampton are close to naming Swansea boss Russell Martin as their new manager.
Martin was due to fly to Washington DC to meet Swansea’s American owners on Thursday for talks over his future but has remained at home.
The 37-year-old has one year left on his contract at the Welsh side.
Southampton, who were relegated from the Premier League last week, are expected to formalise a deal to make Martin their new manager next week, according to talkSPORT.
Leicester were also linked with Martin but the Saints have moved quickly as they prepare for life in the Championship next season.
