The former Brighton and Chelsea boss, 49, has been a free agent since leaving Blues in April 2023.

He has always had one eye on a foreign role and Leipzig may be an attractive option  — although former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is also linked with the job.

Potter is also on the radar of Prem strugglers West Ham and Wolves — who play each other on Monday night — and has long-term admirers at Ajax.

In the meantime he's been providing TV analysis as a Sky Sports pundit.

But speculation over a return to management has spiralled.

Leicester were said to be keen in April 2023 on their way out of the Prem.

But he's understood to have turned them down.

Instead Enzo Maresca got the job at the end of the season.

And after taking the Foxes back to the top flight, the Italian landed the Chelsea job over the summer.

Leicester then reportedly rekindled their interest in Potter following the sacking of Steve Cooper in November.

However, the boss job went to ex-Red Devils' caretaker chief Ruud van Nistelrooy.

However, Potter is arguably more in demand than ever.

And although the Hammers have given Julen Lopetegui a stay of execution, Monday's home clash with second-bottom Wolves could yet be another indicator towards Potter's future.
