Todd Boehly and his executives had decided that Thomas Tuchel was not the manager that would change the style of play of the team and had eyes on Potter for months.
It is not a deal yet, and Todd Boehly has other managers on his radar. A certain Portuguese, Ruben Amorim, is a likely option for Chelsea.
