Graham Potter will probably take the 'carriage' of Brighton after being appointed as Chelsea manager. Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel who was sacked the day after his move.
Chelsea chose to change coaches at the start of the season. They must redeem Graham Potter who is still under contract at Brighton for 18.4 million euros.
However, the price is considered worth it for Potter who impressed in the Premier League 2022/2023 season. Potter managed to bring Brighton into the top flight of the Premier League standings.
In addition, Potter's presence will increase the performance of his former player, Marc Cucurella at Chelsea. Potter is also likely to bring in some of his flagship players at Brighton.
Which Brighton players will Potter pick up and bring to Stamford Bridge? Here are four Brighton players who have the potential to follow Graham Potter to Chelsea.
Moises Caicedo
The name Moises Caicedo became a conversation after Potter's move to Chelsea. This is due to Caicedo who is Potter's mainstay player in Brighton's midfield.
Chelsea are reportedly interested in the 20-year-old midfielder. Potter most likely asked Chelsea to bring Caicedo in the winter transfer market next January.
However, Chelsea will not be easy to sign the midfielder from Ecuador. In addition to persuading the player and Brighton to make a transfer, Chelsea also have to compete with Manchester United for Caicedo's signature.
Alexis Mac Allister
Alexis Mac Allister will most likely be the player Potter picks up. Mac Allister has so far been the motor of Brighton's attack under Potter.
Mac Allister has played regularly as an attacking midfielder for Brighton this season. Mac Allister's contribution to the game is evident through his four goals from Brighton's six matches.
Mac Allister was also one of the recruits in Potter's first season at Brighton. Of course Mac Allister understood the scheme of the game Potter wanted.
Chelsea will benefit greatly if Mac Allister wants to join Stamford Bridge. His arrival will surely revive Chelsea's declining midfield.
Billy Gilmour
The unique story of a young Scottish player, Billy Gilmour. He had just been brought in by Brighton from Chelsea on the last day of the summer transfer window.
But a week later, his coach Graham Potter chose to move to Chelsea. Even though Gilmour only came down a few minutes in Potter's Brighton uniform.
Gilmour is also potentially repatriated Potter back to Chelsea. The reason is that Potter has not tried his target player's abilities at all at Brighton.
However, bringing in Gilmour is not an easy job. Brighton, who became his new club, has tied Gilmour with a contract until 2026.
Leandro Trossard
Leandro Trossard is one of the names that Potter might bring to Chelsea. While still coaching Brighton, Trossard became Potter's mainstay player on the left wing.
Trossard is currently a name that has a significant contribution to Brighton's attack. The Belgian has scored two goals and provided one assist in Brighton's six games.
Chelsea has the potential to bring in Trossard considering that his contract at Brighton will expire in June 2023. However, the presence of Raheem Sterling at Chelsea will be an obstacle for Potter to bring in Trossard.
Sterling, who plays on the left wing, will be Trossard's rival at Chelsea. Trossard certainly did not want to lose his playing time if he joined Chelsea.
