The odds on Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp taking the Swansea job have been sliced in half amid reports he is under consideration for the role.

Bergkamp has been among the leading candidates since Garry Monk was sacked by Swans chairman Hugh Jenkins earlier this week.

The Ajax technical director drifted out to 20/1 to take the reins at the Liberty Stadium as Brendan Rodgers and David Moyes were considered the leading candidates immediately following Monk's dismissal.

But Rodgers' odds have since lengthened and Bergkamp, who was 12/1 to become the next permanent Swansea manager on Thursday morning, is now 8/1 for the job ahead of both the former Liverpool boss and Moyes.

Odds on next Swansea boss

Poyet 3/1

Grant 4/1

Bergkamp 8/1 (from 20/1)

Moyes 10/1

It comes amid reports in the Dutch press that Bergkamp is 'in the frame' for a first stab at club management. Indeed, Voetbal Centraal believe Bergkamp is among those being considered by Swansea chief Jenkins.

Swansea sit 15th in the Premier League table, one point above the relegation zone.
