Harlequins are understood to have come to the rescue of Wasps and England lock Joe Launchbury.
Launchbury, 31, is one of a number of internationals set to move with Wasps on the brink of administration.
Launchbury came through the Quins academy but was not offered a professional contract at 18, which led to him signing for Worthing in 2009 before earning a trial at Wasps where he has stayed since 2010-11.
