WEYMOUTH boss Mark Molesley has been spotted at Southend United's training ground this morning.
Molesley has been in talks with the Blues since the weekend having visited Essex, but a deal now appears to be close after he was introduced to the players.
Southend, who were relegated to League Two last season, have gone over six weeks without appointing a successor to Sol Campbell.
Molesley, who mulled his future over this week, has led Weymouth to back-to-back promotions as the Terras returned to the National League after an absence of 11 years.
Weymouth have made every effort to keep the former Bournemouth midfielder at the Bob Lucas Stadium but the Cherries' under-21 assistant is edging closer to joining the Shrimpers.
Bookmakers have this afternoon closed the betting with Molesley the heavy favourite for the job.
