A move to Europe beckoned, with Leverkusen paying around £6million for his services in the summer of 2021. Just 18 months later, he could be on the move again for a much bigger fee.

Chelsea are expected to be active in the January transfer window despite spending nearly £300m in Todd Boehly’s first summer transfer window. There were eight new arrivals at Stamford Bridge but many of those have underwhelmed.
Potter can also claim that some of them were Tuchel’s signings and that he should be given the opportunity to build a team in his image.
