Swansea City are holding meetings this week with a view to drafting in a new recruitment chief.
Mark Allen left his role as sporting director last month following his tensions with the club's ownership group and chief executive Julian Winter. The club officially confirmed the Welshman's exit on April 29, with Winter stating at the time that the process to find his successor was underway. You can read the full story on that here.
It's understood head coach Russell Martin and Winter are both holding talks with potential candidates this week for what is expected to be primarily a recruitment role as opposed to the sporting director position previously held by Allen. It is hoped the club can make an appointment later this month or in early June.
