The Welsh midfielder, 23, has seen his chances of a game at Manchester United hit hard by the £73million arrival of Jadon Sancho.

As well as James, Potter is on alert for his fellow Welshman, Rodon.

The Tottenham centre-half, also 23, could be available with the North Londoners closing in on Japanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasu.

James came to prominence at Swansea under Potter, who used his blistering pace to lethal effect.

The winger would be given the games he needs at this stage of his career on the south coast.

Rodon also emerged at Swans during Potter’s reign alongside James.

The Wales ace was a key man despite an injury-hit period at the club.

His skills would make him a perfect replacement if Ben White is sold.

A host of top clubs including Arsenal and Everton are chasing the £50m-rated England centre-back.

Brighton would ideally buy both James and Rodon on permanent deals.

But Potter would willingly take the pair on loan should they fail in their quest to buy.
