After sacking Thomas Tuchel as manager over the Club 1-0 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League Chelsea are expected to approach Brighton for permission to speak to Graham Potter.
Potter is understood to be Chelsea’s first choice but Mauricio Pochettino and Zinedine Zidane, both of whom are out of work, are also on their shortlist.

Tuchel’s departure follows a disappointing start to the season, with the club having also been beaten by Leeds and Southampton in the Premier League.
