Paul Clement set to take over as Swansea boss

Swansea are set to appoint Paul Clement as their new manager, it is understood.

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.

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.
