Former Arsenal star Paul Merson supports the appointment of Graham Potter by Chelsea.

Merson admits he's a fan of the former Brighton manager.

He said, "I think it was a really strange decision to sack Tuchel, but Graham Potter is a manager I really like.

"Working at this level is a different ball game, but Potter has shown in his time with Swansea City and Brighton that he's more than capable of creating teams that can go toe-to-toe with the best in the business.

"I've said before that Manchester United should have got him ahead of Erik ten Hag, and I stand by that statement, but he's set to take over the reins at Stamford Bridge now, and it'll be interesting to see how it turns out."
