Graham Potter's first five major Chelsea challenges to overcome as Blues priorities are laid out

It's been a period of change for Chelsea and barely a week following their first football transfer window, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have experienced their first firing and hiring at Stamford Bridge. Barely 100 days into their ownership and there will be few areas where the ownership group's impact has not been felt.

Graham Potter is the man chosen to succeed Thomas Tuchel and will now be the face of the team to the media, culpable for decisions on the pitch and asked about issues on it. The 47-year-old has proven himself on an impressive journey working for Hull University, the Ghanaian women's team and Leeds Metropolitan University on his way to Ostersund in Sweden before Swansea and Brighton.

The profile and stature of Chelsea will bring new challenges and new demands, and meeting a squad assembled without his input means he will have to learn quickly but he was nevertheless the hierarchy's top choice. football.london takes a look at what Potter's priorities must be as he gets to work.
