Graham Potter could use his contacts and relationships with former club Brighton sooner than expected in order to strengthen his Chelsea side.
The new manager had eight players join him on the south coast earlier this summer before eventually moving to Chelsea after Thomas Tuchel's shock sacking left him top of Todd Boehly's wishlist to takeover at Stamford Bridge.
This has created unfortunate irony for several players on both sides of the deal including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Billy Gilmour, but one player that has already been effected by the move is loanee Levi Colwill.
