Chelsea could sign three Brighton stars after Graham Potter appointment endorsement

“You think Mac Allister, the way that he’s turned into this brilliant [player]. He gets the best out of the squad that he’s got and I’ll tell you what, he’s got a hell of a squad at Chelsea. Make no mistake.

“I can’t wait to see when he gets his hand on this squad, what we look like. If we’re anything like Brighton, then we are in for a treat.”

Cundy says Potter showed at former club Ostersunds that he has what it takes to compete on the European stage. He added: “He went to Ostersunds and there was a game against Arsenal in the Europa League and they beat them 2-1.

“So he does have some European experience and he can go onto the European stage and take on some of the big heads. Then he went to Swansea and Brighton saw exactly what they wanted and they took him and he’s elevated.”
