SKY SPORTS are in talks with TV host Roman Kemp over a role within their football coverage, reports claim.
It comes two weeks after Sky confirmed the departures of seven senior reporters as part of a major redundancy programme.

Long-serving presenter Rob Wotton announced his exit after 30 years in a tearful farewell live on air in May.
But Sky bosses have remained tight-lipped about the changes.
And now The Mail have sensationally claimed that Kemp, 32, is in line for a shock hosting role on a new footie show at Sky.
The son of former Spandau Ballet star Martin, Kemp is a presenter on BBC flagship programme The One Show.
The big-time Arsenal fan was linked with a role on Match of the Day when it emerged that Gary Lineker would quit at the end of the season.
The Mail reports that Sky have entered discussions with Kemp as part of their ongoing bid to attract new audiences.
Kemp has a huge online following and is popular with a younger audience thanks to a long stint hosting the Breakfast Show on Capital FM.
Sky made a series of redundancies as part of a restructure in May.

The cull impacted seven reporters and presenters, amid a desire to make the station more agile and “better equipped to serve audiences”.
Fellow presenters Teddy Draper and Jasper Taylor will leave this summer, along with senior reporters Jeremy Langdon and Melissa Reddy and Fadumo Olow.
Senior Football Reporter Reddy was a new recruit three years ago, but has covered most of the biggest stories in the Premier League.
Sky insist the changes are not primarily a cost-cutting measure.
