Graham Potter Granted Permission by Swansea to Open Talks With Brighton

Brighton and Hove Albion have been granted permission by Swansea City to speak to manager Graham Potter.

Despite ensuring Premier League survival, former boss Chris Hughton was relieved of his duties less than 24 hours after their season finale, owing to a torrid run of form that saw the Seagulls pick up just three wins from their last 23 games.

Not wanting to wait around, Brighton have made Potter their number one target as they look to fill the managerial space as soon as possible, with The Telegraph confirming that Swansea have now granted Potter permission to speak to Albion - where he is expected to undergo a formal interview on Tuesday.
