Swansea City are looking to appoint Luton Town's Paul Watson in a sporting director role at the club.
Watson is currently the chief operating officer with the Hatters, a position he has held since 2021.
In news first reported by The Athletic, the move could be completed in the coming days.

It comes on the back of significant news of new investment imminently being injected into the club from a trio of US-based businessmen.
Reports in the US, confirmed by head coach Russell Martin as being "very close" to completion, would see Nigel Morris, Andy Coleman and Brett Cravatt pump an initial reported £10million into the club.
Swansea's record in the transfer market has been mixed at best under the current ownership's tenure, with January just gone prompting an apology from Jason Levien and Jake Silverstein to fans via an interview with the Supporters' Trust.
Swansea face a big summer on and off the field, with Martin expecting to overhaul his playing squad and a candidate of Watson's experience could well help the club's recruitment process, with Luton having operated with a limited budget in the past.
Watson joined the Bedfordshire outfit as general operations manager in 2018 before stepping up to the role of COO three years later.
