Robbie Fowler believes Graham Potter must take the Chelsea manager's job if he is offered it

Robbie Fowler thinks Graham Potter must take the Chelsea manager's job if he is offered the opportunity to replace Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel was sacked by the Blues on Wednesday morning after Chelsea suffered their third straight away defeat of the season against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday. Potter has emerged as Chelsea's number one target to succeed Tuchel, and Brighton have already given permission to their Premier League counterparts to speak to the 47-year-old.

Sportsmail understands Potter's £12m release clause is not believed to be an issue for Chelsea, and they are hopeful that he could be in charge for their west London derby against Fulham on Saturday.
