Brighton have sent out a statement in which the chairman - Tony Bloom - claims he is "disappointed" to see head coach Graham Potter leave the club. The English manager leaves the Seagulls to join Chelsea on a five-year deal in a major move by new owners Clearlake-Boehly.
Potter spent just over three seasons in charge at Brighton, going on to make them a formidable side that also played an attractive style of play. Their model for recruitment has also caught the eye, looking to invest in young players from smaller countries or divisions to gain an advantage.
Successful pushes in the league have not only seen the South coast side survive, but they've managed to thrive and currently sit in the top four after a blistering start to the new Premier League campaign. However, the loss of Potter along with his backroom staff may come as a huge blow.
