Todd Boehly is already thinking about his next manager only a day after appointing his current one. Also: Arsenal will move again in January for summer target…
SPORTING COACH EYED AS FUTURE CHELSEA BOSS
Graham Potter has been at his post for less than 24 hours but already there is talk of who might replace Chelsea’s newest manager.
The Evening Standard says Ruben Amorim is considered by Todd Boehly and his crew to be a manager for the future after the Sporting Lisbon coach was considered as a potential candidate to replace Thomas Tuchel this week.

The Gunners attempted to sign the Shakhtar Donetsk winger on deadline day but failed to reach an agreement over a player who has spoken of his ambition to play in the Premier League.
