David Moyes will be offered the chance to make a quick return to football - with Swansea, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.

Former Manchester United boss Moyes is poised to step into Garry Monk’s shoes after the Welsh side were thumped at home by Premier League League leaders Leicester.

A Riyad Mahrez hat-trick has sealed Monk’s fate as the Swans’ wretched run of late continued at the Liberty Stadium.

Speculation has been rife for several weeks that chairman Huw Jenkins is ready to pull the trigger.

And the hapless showing at home was the last straw as their record of just one victory in 11 was extended and Monk is not expected to survive.

The Swans are just two points above the drop-zone and that is too close for comfort for Jenkins ahead of a season in which the cash from the new television deal will be on the table.

Moyes is top of Swansea’s wish-list as the club looks to safeguard its five-year stay in the Premier League.

The Scot has been out of work since last month, when his stay at Spain's Real Sociedad came to an end.

However, he needs to repair his reputation at a solid club and Swansea fits the bill.

Moyes has not enjoyed the happiest of times since walking out on Everton to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.

His stay in charge of the Red Devils lasted barely one season. He went to Spain to further his footballing education but lasted just one year before the axe fell.

He now needs to complete his footballing rehabilitation and appears set for the upcoming vacancy in south Wales.
