Chelsea have confirmed the appointment of Graham Potter as the club's new Head coach on a bumper five-year deal.
The Blues prioritised a move for Potter after taking the decision to sack Thomas Tuchel after just three wins in their opening seven fixtures this season. Brighton gave the English manager permission to travel to London and hold talks with Todd Boehly over the vacant position at Stamford Bridge, football.london understands.
Potter arrived at Cobham training ground today to finalise paperwork and legal documents before his announcement on Thursday afternoon. Chelsea signed Marc Cucurella from the Seagulls in a £55million deal during the summer transfer window and now Potter needs to decide if the Spaniard will start ahead of Ben Chilwell in his team.
