Swansea City are to name Paul Clement as new manager.

Clement, the former Derby boss and current Bayern Munich assistant, has been in talks with Swansea over the last 24 hours to become the club's third manager of the season, reports PA Sport.

And it is understood that the deal could be finalised over the next 48 hours before Swansea - who will head into 2017 bottom of the Premier League - visit Crystal Palace on Tuesday.

Bob Bradley - who succeeded Francesco Guidolin in October - saw his 85-day reign come to an end after the 4-1 Boxing Day defeat to West Ham.

The 44-year-old was interviewed for the position when Bradley was appointed, and the Swansea hierarchy were impressed enough with Clement to return to him after sacking the American on Tuesday.
