Potter tekur við Chelsea - Munnlegt samkomulag í höfn

Chelsea tilkynnti í gær að Thomas Tuchel hefði verið rekinn í kjölfarið á 1-0 tapi gegn Dinamo Zagreb í Meistaradeildinni. Potter var strax orðaður við starfið en hann hefur gert frábæra hluti með Brighton og þykir spila skemmtilegan fótbolta.

Potter hélt til Lundúna í viðræður í gær og sást á æfingasvæði Brighton í morgun, væntanlega til að kveðja.

Brighton er búið að fresta fréttamannafundi sínum sem átti að vera fyrir leikinn gegn Bournemouth um helgina.

Good luck to Graham Potter at Chelsea. Very good tactician, excellent people skills, popular with staff. Leaves a friendly, well-run set-up at #BHAFC. #CFC a far more challenging environment. Needs the players to buy in to him and his ways quickly. Needs time - and patience.
