Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, March 11 (Reuters) - HSBC Holdings Plc (Frankfurt: 923893 - news) is lining up Mark Tucker, currently chief executive of insurer AIA (HKSE: 1299-OL.HK - news) Group Ltd, to be the next chairman of Europe's biggest bank, Britain's Sky News reported on Saturday (Shenzhen: 002291.SZ - news) .

Last month HSBC said the bank was not a position where it had a shortlist of candidates to replace Douglas Flint, but expected to identify his successor this year.

Sky (Frankfurt: 893517 - news) , without citing its sources, said HSBC had approached Tucker about the role and talks were ongoing. No one was immediately available from HSBC for comment.

Tucker, a one-time trainee professional soccer player in Britain, joined AIA in 2010 after a previous role as chief executive of Prudential Plc (SES: K6S.SI - news) . (Reporting by Michael Holden; Editing by Alexander Smith)
