Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has said Brighton should be "knocking on Nottingham Forest's door" for head coach Steve Cooper.
Brighton are seeking a replacement for Graham Potter, who is on the verge of becoming the new manager of Chelsea following the departure of Thomas Tuchel earlier this week.
Jordan says if he were the owner of Brighton, he would be asking Forest for permission to speak to Steve Cooper about the vacancy. Both Cooper and Potter have drawn parallels throughout their career as young, progressive British coaches who have both been in charge of Swansea City before advancing to the Premier League.
