Brighton & Hove Albion have given Graham Potter a contract extension, with Everton seemingly looking at potential Marco Silva replacements.
Brighton & Hove Albion fans think that Graham Potter’s contract extension at the club is a sign that Everton were interested in him.
Everton still have Marco Silva at the helm currently, but it is no secret that he is under extreme pressure.
The Toffees appear to be assessing their options to replace Silva, and Brighton’s Potter may well have been on their radar.
Potter did an impressive job at Swansea City last season and has earned praise for the job he has done at Brighton so far.
The Seagulls acted yesterday to hand Potter a massive contract extension until 2025, despite him only joining them in the summer.
And Brighton supporters think that the move was made to put off Everton from attempting to come in for their manager.
Brighton are currently four places ahead of Everton in the Premier League table, despite spending a considerable amount less than the Toffees.
Potter’s side are next in action against Liverpool at the weekend, while Everton are set to take on Leicester City.
