Winger Christian Wade is set to leave Wasps and attempt to make a move into the NFL, according to reports.
Wasps made no comment when contacted by Press Association Sport on Friday morning and Wade was absent from the 23-man squad later named for the Champions Cup fixture against Bath.
With some 82 Premiership tries, Wade is currently third on the league’s all-time scorer list.
Wade would not be the first rugby union player to try his hand at Gridiron.
Christian Scotland-Williamson moved from Worcester to join the Pittsburgh Steelers, while last year Alex Gray left Yorkshire Carnegie to link up with the Atlanta Falcons.
