Brighton have named Kjetil Knutsen and Roberto De Zerbi among their top targets to replace Graham Potter in the dugout at the Amex.
The news comes with the club set to receive £21million from Chelsea for Potter's services after the 47-year-old signed a five-year deal to take charge at Stamford Bridge last week.
According to a report from The Telegraph, the Brighton hierarchy are intent on bringing in someone who will continue with implementing their philosophies, particularly when it comes to the development of young players.
With the postponement of Premier League fixtures, coupled with the upcoming international break, Brighton chiefs are in no rush to appoint a new boss, and are eager for any new appointment to be capable of continuing the club's exceptional start to the season.
