Graham Potter has reached a verbal agreement to become the new Chelsea head coach.
football.london understands an agreement was reached after Potter met Todd Boehly in London on Wednesday for talks over the role. No contracts have been signed just yet, but Potter is expected to become the Blues' new manager – with the club hoping to appoint him before Saturday afternoon's Premier League match with Fulham.
Brighton yesterday granted Potter permission to speak to Chelsea following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel in the morning. Mauricio Pochettino was also considered for the vacant role, but it looks as if though Potter is the man.
