NOTICE!!

He may be on borrowed time as well with the incoming duo of Kendry Paez and Estevao Willian who both arrive this summer and play in his position. Despite speculation of a possible return to the South Coast club, Potter ruled it out, stating that “it wasn’t the right time.”

Brighton has since appointed Fabian Hurzeler as their new manager, but Potter’s success with the Seagulls continues to serve as a reminder of his potential.

Ouch.

Benoit Badiashile

Signed for £35million, the 21-year-old has endured a mixed time at Chelsea since arriving. This led to his appointment at Brighton & Hove Albion in 2019, where he transformed the team’s philosophy into a more progressive, attacking, possession-oriented approach. A string of inconsistent performances led to Chelsea dropping to 11th place in the Premier League, ultimately resulting in Potter’s dismissal after just 31 games in charge.

Noni Madueke

Chelsea brought in the England youngster at the time as a 20-year-old for £30million on a seven-year-deal after impressing with PSV. Since then, he’s gone on to play 68 times for the Blues, netting 15 goals and providing seven assists.

He recently broke into the England set-up under interim boss Lee Carsley but it is unclear if he will continue to have a place in Thomas Tuchel’s new regime.

Currently, he battling a provisional suspension from the Football Association after failing a drugs test – and the future is very unclear.

With seven goals in 18 games from midfield, there has been talk of bringing him back into the squad as early as January but it seems he will be embedded into the squad next summer.

But there’s a feeling in general that we still haven’t seen the best of the 23-year-old.

Andrey Santos

Another future ‘star’, Santos is yet to feature for Chelsea.

While the club wasn’t promoted, his team’s performance and style, including a notable FA Cup run against Manchester City, attracted attention. Chelsea was undoubtedly a difficult project, and there’s a sense among fans that Potter was dealt an unfortunate hand, caught in a “perfect storm” of high expectations and an unstable squad.

However, fans also point to his success at Brighton as a promising indicator of his abilities.

There is quality in there, as shown by his long-distance wonder strike against West Ham whilst playing for Burnley last season, but his future is set to be away from the club regardless of the outcome of his current loan.

Joao Felix

Chelsea paid £9.7million to acquire him on loan and he arrived to great fanfare at the time – but his debut was polarising as he shone against Fulham before getting sent off for a high tackle.

As of October 2024, here’s an overview of his earnings and net worth based on available information:

When Potter joined Chelsea in September 2022, he signed a lucrative five-year contract reportedly worth £12 million per year, which would have totaled £60 million had he completed the full term. “International management is a different rhythm,” he told The Telegraph.

Malo Gusto

Signed as a future star, Gusto remained on loan at Lyon for the rest of the season at the time but has developed into a key squad player across the past season and a half.

Capable of playing either right-back or left-back, the Frenchman boasts an all-round game and has been an incredibly useful signing given Reece James’ fitness issues.

NOTICE!! At TheCityCeleb, we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date biographies and entertainment news, focusing on celebrities. Chelsea spent a record £323 million during the January 2023 transfer window, hoping to revamp the squad and climb the Premier League table.

However, it became evident that the project at Stamford Bridge wasn’t progressing as planned.

It’s nothing that I’ve ruled out, but at the same time I do like the day-to-day bit of working with the players.”

The former Brighton & Hove Albion boss is keen to return to club football, but only under the right circumstances. However, after being dismissed in April 2023, his compensation package became a focus of attention.

While his remaining contract value was around £50 million, Chelsea did not pay the full amount.
