David Ornstein has suggested that Brighton & Hove Albion boss Graham Potter is not on Tottenham Hotspur or Arsenal’s radar as their potential new manager, as per his comments on the Ornstein & Chapman podcast.
Both Mikel Arteta and Jose Mourinho have fallen under pressure at times this term, with Arsenal and Tottenham currently performing below expectations in the league.
Arsenal and Tottenham’s board have remained patient in their managers so far, but that has not stopped some speculation forming over their futures throughout the season.
Although Arteta seems to have steadied the ship at Arsenal, Mourinho has seen rumours surface over potential successors for him at Tottenham.
However, Ornstein suggests that although Potter is drawing admiring glances from England officials, the North London duo are not ready to take a risk on him yet.
“I don’t hear him in the Tottenham and Arsenal conversations yet, but I do hear people within the game talking about him within the FA style setup as a potential future England manager,” he said.
Brighton, statistically, have one of the most impressive records in the league – which has earned Potter praise.
His style of football has certainly earned him some attractive glances.
But there is no doubt that he would be taking a huge step up by taking charge of Tottenham or Arsenal.
The Gunners may well argue that Arteta is a coach in a similar mould to Potter.
But Mourinho is very different – and if he was ever to be considered by Spurs, it would be a big change from the Lilywhites.
