Brighton chief Paul Barber has total confidence in the commitment of manager Graham Potter.

Barber, the club's chief executive and deputy chairman, confirmed in the summer that Tottenham had not made contact.

But he can understand why the Albion boss might be attracting attention.

Barber told Sky Sports yesterday: "There is always going to be interest in good people, whether it's coaches, players or even backroom staff as well.

"We've got Graham on a long contract.

"We like what he's doing, we want him to be here for a long time to come and I think he's happy to be here."
