BBC Radio 2 bosses think Hammond, who has already filled in for Wogan on the morning show, would be the ideal breakfast host once the Irish broadcaster retires.
"They are excited about Hammond taking over. But they don’t want anyone to know as it may offend Terry or look like they want him to go by planning a replacement," a source said.
Wogan's current contract with Radio 2 expires in 2009. His Wake Up With Wogan show is Britain's most popular radio programme ahead of Radio 1's The Chris Moyles Show.
Hammond has also been rumoured as a possible replacement for Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan on Channel 4.
