Sky Sports have reportedly approached BBC presenter Mark Chapman as they try to find a long-term replacement for Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday.

Stelling has spent 30 years with Sky and has become synonymous with the broadcaster's flagship Saturday afternoon football programme, having hosted it since 1994.

But Sky have been on the lookout for a replacement ever since the 66-year-old announced in October that he had decided to step down from the role at the end of the season.

Chapman is a BBC stalwart and presents the broadcaster’s Saturday afternoon coverage on BBC Radio 5 Live, its Monday Club programme, Match of the Day 2 and rugby league shows.

Yet according to the Daily Mail the 48-year-old could jump ship after holding talks with Sky about filling the big shoes of Stelling on Soccer Saturday.

Chapman, who is from Sale, Manchester, has worked for the BBC since 1996 when he started reading sport bulletins on Radio 1.

He joined 5 Live in 2010 and has since developed a reputation for being a safe pair of hands across a variety of sports, working on golf coverage and NFL broadcasts.

The report states that Chapman is yet to decide whether to take up the job offer, or whether he would continue to work for the BBC if
