Graham Potter lined up for Premier League return as two clubs sound out former Chelsea manager

GRAHAM POTTER has been lined up for a return to the Premier League with two clubs interested in the former Chelsea boss.

He has been out of work since his sacking at Stamford Bridge in April 2023.

Potter has since provided analysis as a pundit on Sky Sports while being tipped for a return to management.

Leicester reportedly wanted him following their relegation from the Prem last year, but Potter turned them down.

The Foxes were said to be interested after sacking Steve Cooper last month, but opted for Ruud van Nistelrooy instead.

Potter is now being sounded out by West Ham and Wolves, according to talkSPORT.

And they report his clear preference would be for the Hammers job.

Both clubs have struggled this season and their managers are under considerable pressure.

Julen Loptegui took over at West Ham in the summer but has won just five of his 16 games in charge despite heavy investment in the squad.

While Gary O’Neil has had a disastrous start to the campaign with Wolves, winning just two Prem games from 14 and most recently losing 4-0 to Everton.

Potter, 49, hinted at a return to management this week while on punditry duty for Prime Video.

Asked if he was “looking at things”, Potter replied: “Yeah, of course. As I’ve said before, you’re open to everything.

“But at the same time I’m really enjoying this [punditry] as well.

“Because it gives you another perspective, you get to see it from your eyes, how the media thinks about the game. That’s always interesting.

“It’s a different lens, that can only make you better once you understand that as well, so I’ve enjoyed that.”
