Since his £4.25billion takeover of Chelsea, Todd Boehly has become well accustomed to Brighton & Hove Albion and their hidden gems. Nearly £100million has been spent on prizing the Seagulls' prize assets to Stamford Bridge, yet Brighton remain above Chelsea in the Premier League table.
Graham Potter's terrific start to the campaign at the Amex Stadium convinced Boehly to pay a record £22million to lure the English manager to west London. Under Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton have continued their remarkable campaign and remain in with a shout of bringing European football to the club for the first time since their promotion to the Premier League.
When Potter's services were acquired, many would have thought Brighton would slowly slip down the table. After all, it wasn't just their head coach that was snatched by Chelsea. Last season's player of the season Marc Cucurella was purchased for £62million on a six-year deal and former recruitment director Paul Winstanley joined in Boehly's overhaul of the team behind-the-scenes.
