Graham Potter previously claimed he wouldn't talk about players at other clubs, but has talked up AC Milan's Rafael Leao amid ongoing transfer speculation.
The new Chelsea boss, who has only been in his post a matter of weeks, secured his first Champions League win last week as the Blues saw off the Italians ahead of their return game on Tuesday night. Potter has faced a host of questioning since he swapped Brighton for Chelsea.
Among those is what his arrival could mean for the club's recruitment policy. Chelsea spent a record amount in the summer on the likes of Raheem Sterling and Wesley Fofana as they looked to freshen up their squad. One new owner Todd Boehly in particular was keen on was Cristiano Ronaldo.
