Potter, who was sacked by Chelsea and has been out of a job since, is now back in the Premier League as head coach of West Ham United.

He will be looking to get things back on track for The Hammers who have been in terrible form this season, and Potter may well be looking for some reinforcements this month.

There are rumours now suggesting that he could turn to some current Chelsea players, and there is a fresh new name mentioned there as well.

We all know the situation with Blues left back Ben Chilwell, who is expected to leave Chelsea this month. But so far, there is a lack of advancements to sign him.

Former West Ham scout Mick Brown says his former club are in the market for a left back this month, and Potter could reunite with Ben Chilwell.

“I’m surprised he’s [Chilwell] been frozen out at Chelsea,” he told Football Insider.

“I think he’s a very good player, and was probably in the top three English left-backs if not the best in the country at one stage.

“Whether the injury issues he’s had have had a bigger impact than they expected, I’m not sure.

“I don’t like to see talented players sidelined, so I expect he’ll get a move in the window.

“From what I hear, he has been on West Ham’s radar and they could make a move.

“They’ve got Emerson in there but there have been a few questions about his performances, plus, Potter already knows Chilwell from his time at Chelsea.

“He already lives in London, too, so I think that move would make a lot of sense for all parties.”
