Graham Potter is set to travel to Stamford Bridge to discuss becoming the new Chelsea manager and succeed Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked on Wednesday morning.
The Brighton boss is believed to be Chelsea chair Todd Boehly's primary target after a stunning start to the term, guiding the Seagulls to fourth in the Premier League with four wins from six games - including a 2-1 triumph against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Brighton have granted Chelsea permission to talk to Potter after the Blues agreed to meet their whopping £16million compensation fee. The situation is expected to move quickly and there's a chance the Englishman could be appointed before the end of Wednesday.
