Mega-rich Newcastle 'target Graham Potter after the Englishman's brilliant start to the season with Brighton... while Antonio Conte is OUT of the running for the role'

Graham Potter is reportedly one of the people in the frame to succeed Steve Bruce at Newcastle.

The Brighton manager, whose side currently sit just two points off Premier League table-toppers Chelsea, has been widely praised for implementing an attractive brand of football at the AMEX while maintaining a strong defensive unit since taking over from Chris Hughton in May 2019, with results starting to match performances after 15th and 16th-placed finishes in the last two campaigns.

The Magpies have enjoyed a surreal few days since a Saudi-led consortium bought the club from deeply unpopular owner Mike Ashley for more than £300million and the new hierarchy are now thought to be drawing up a list of targets to succeed Bruce, with Potter among those being considered, according to The Sun.
