Graham Potter is reportedly close to a EPL return with Leicester City emerging as the favourites to recruit the Chelsea flop.
The former Chelsea and Brighton manager has been out of work since April last year after a tumultuous stint at Stamford Bridge. Despite receiving multiple offers to return to management, Potter has been selective, holding out for the right opportunity.
According to The Sun, Potter has engaged in promising discussions with Leicester City's ownership. The talks have been fruitful, and it appears that Potter is enthusiastic about leading the newly-promoted club in the Premier League. Leicester's championship victory last season secured their promotion, but they were left without a manager after Enzo Maresca departed to take up the reins at Chelsea earlier this month.
In their search for a new manager, Leicester City considered several candidates, including former Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper and West Brom manager Carlos Corberan.
