GRAHAM POTTER is reportedly set to travel to London to speak to Chelsea about their vacant head coach position.
SunSport exclusively revealed earlier today that the Blues were planning on speaking to Brighton about Potter's availability.
And the Seagulls are claimed to have given Potter, 47, permission to speak to Chelsea chiefs.
He will now travel from the South Coast to the capital this afternoon, according to Sky Sports.
There he will meet with owner Todd Boehly to discuss the prospect of taking over from Thomas Tuchel.
Tuchel was ruthlessly sacked by American businessman Boehly earlier today in a 10 minute conference call, as exclusively revealed by SunSport.
