Journalists make fun of Graham Potter as they joke about his 'dressing room' after January spending spree

Ahead of speaking to the press, Potter was involved in a brilliant exchange with a reporter during his pre-match press conference.

The Chelsea boss took his seat and made reference to the number of reporters in the room, saying: "Afternoon, there's a few in!"

One of the reporters in attendance hilariously replied: "It's like your dressing room in here."

Credit to Potter who saw the funny side of the comment as he admitted that he hasn't seen any of the jokes surrounding the club's huge recruitment in January.

Following a busy transfer window, Potter is backing the new signings to breathe new life into their faltering season.

"There is potential for that. I think new faces will give the group a lift," he said.

"The group has had a tough time with injuries and we’ve had some tough moments. New faces just lift everybody, and I think the quality of the players is exciting for everyone.

"It lifts the quality of the training sessions and mood, so we are looking forward to going out and playing in front of our supporters."

Chelsea haven't played a game since their goalless draw at Liverpool as they languish in 10th place in the table.

But a win over seventh-placed Fulham would see them leapfrog their London rivals.
