Some Newcastle United fans have welcomed speculation linking the Magpies with Graham Potter.

According to The Sun, Newcastle have the Brighton manager on their radar as a potential replacement for Steve Bruce.

The Daily Mail claims Newcastle’s new owners have opted to sanction the £8million payoff clause in Bruce’s contract.

As a result, a number of managers have been linked with the manager’s job at St James’ Park.

Potter wouldn’t be a bad shout for Newcastle, as he ticks quite a few boxes.
