Having parted ways with former boss Chris Hughton last week, Brighton have moved quickly to secure his replacement – Swansea’s Graham Potter.

Potter arrives at the AMEX Stadium following a solid season with Swansea, who had been looking to bounce back from relegation.

In his first season as a manager in English football, he leads a new-look Swansea to 10th place, having been in the hunt for a playoff spot right until the final few weeks of the season.

On Monday, Brighton confirmed the Englishman’s appointment at a press conference, having triggered his 2 million pound release clause at Swansea following Hughton’s departure.
