Potter broke his silence as he signed a 5 year deal with Chelsea and posed for his official unveiling photographs on Monday, September 12.

 

Potter posed for pictures with co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali as he gave his first interview to the club's official social media channels.

 

'It's the start of a really exciting period. A new ownership I was really impressed by, firstly as people and then the vision of the club,' Potter said.

 

'The history of the club speaks for itself but it's about trying to create that again in our own way.'

 

He continued: 'It's an amazing history, fantastic tradition, a historic football club. I mean, growing up with the fantastic teams of Chelsea, of the modern era. 

 

'You only have to walk around the place here and you see the pictures, you see the trophies, you see the names.

 

'It's incredible and it's a huge honour, like I said, for me to be a part of that now.

'It's about creating a team that competes, that has respect for each other, that is honest, that works together, so it's a combination of, I would say, football and human values that we try to work with.

 

'I think that you have to understand that they're human beings first, and the key thing is to try understand them, understand what motivates them and understand what they're like as people, and then, from that, try to come to some common ground, try to build relationships, to try to communicate effectively on a daily basis and build respect, trust and honesty.
