Monk will report for duty at the club's training ground on Tuesday for talks where his exit could be confirmed.

It will mark a spectacular fall from grace for Monk. He saved the club from relegation after replacing Michael Laudrup in February 2014 before guiding Swansea to a best ever Premier League finish of eighth last season.

But the wheels have come off this season, with the manner of Saturday's 3-0 home defeat to Leicester appearing to prove the final straw.
