West Bromwich Albion are in talks over appointing Tottenham Hotspur coach Ryan Mason as their new manager.
Multiple sources have told BBC Sport the ex-England midfielder, who is currently working under Ange Postecoglou at Spurs, is emerging as the Championship club's first-choice candidate to replace Tony Mowbray, who was sacked in April.
Discussions are well under way and are continuing amid positivity from all parties that Mason will accept his first managerial role.
Mason's contract at Spurs expires at the end of June so there are unlikely to be lengthy negotiations over the 33-year-old's release, though Tottenham are aware of the Baggies' interest.
