Brighton boss Potter prepared to sell star this summer

Brighton boss Graham Potter says they're prepared to sell one star this summer.

Last summer after finishing 16th he sold centre back Ben White to Arsenal for £50million and they now sit ninth, having secured their highest Premier League points tally.

"We sold Ben and we've managed to improve," said Potter. "That's the challenge in the Premier League for teams like us. You look at Wolves — they've sold players and carried on.

"It's impossible to think you can keep hold of everybody. But we can sell at the right time, at the right price, then carry on trying to improve.

"It's not about whether people stay together, it's whether you can keep improving. That's the challenge."
