According to the Times, Graham Potter becomes the most expensive manager ever.
Chelsea paid a whopping £22 million to take the 47-year-old from the Amex to Stamford Bridge.
The former Swansea City boss has seriously impressed on the south coast.
Last season he guided the Seagulls to their highest ever top-flight finish as they ended up 9th.
Brighton had also made a strong start to the season sat 4th after six matches.
But having impressed so much, the Blues have decided to snap him up after sacking Thomas Tuchel.
