Daily Mail: Jeff Stelling set to succeed Laura Woods at talkSPORT

Story from Daily Mail:

Jeff Stelling is the front-runner to succeed Laura Woods on talkSPORT’s breakfast show.

In what would be a considerable coup for the broadcaster, the former Sky Sports Soccer Saturday host, who left the station at the end of last season following 25 years in the role, is close to agreeing a deal that would take him onto the nation’s airwaves.

It is thought that Stelling’s potential arrival would not impact on Alan Brazil, who would continue to present on Thursdays and Fridays. Award-winning Woods will front ITV’s coverage of the upcoming women’s World Cup and is rumoured to be in line to replace TNT presenter Jake Humphrey.

Meanwhile, Ally McCoist – also of the talkSPORT stable - is to join TNT for the forthcoming season in another significant swoop. It remains to be seen what impact – if any – the move will have on McCoist’s other work with the radio station, Amazon Prime, Sky and ITV.

Covering a Champions League match and then being on air early the following morning, for example, may be a tough ask for the Rangers legend.
