James Corden is said to be the favourite to replace Gary Lineker as Match of the Day host after he revealed that he will step down as presenter of US show The Late Late Show.
Corden, who has hosted the popular talk show since 2015 after taking over from Craig Ferguson, announced this week that he will be leaving.
Initially, his contract was due to expire this summer, but an extension will see him continue to present the show until spring 2023.
