Ostersunds FK chairman Daniel Kindberg has confirmed in a press conference that he has allowed Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins to speak to Graham Potter regarding the vacant manager’s job.

Kindberg initially denied the speculation saying there had been no contact with the Swans, but after the club’s 2-0 home win this afternoon, the Ostersunds FK chairman confirmed that there have been talks.

So Graham Potter to Swansea is not a done deal yet. But Kindberg has approved Huw Jenkins to speak with Graham Potter. — ???????? (@SwedeStats) May 26, 2018

You would expect more developments on this early next week. Ostersunds have a long break now during the World Cup – giving both parties the perfect opportunity to make the move happen, and the Swedish club to find Potter’s replacement.

Graham Potter says that he needs to talk with them more and it's a big challenge to take them back to the Premier League and give them an identity. But it's still a long way to go. — ???????? (@SwedeStats) May 26, 2018

He says it's not easy. His family is happy in Östersund. — ???????? (@SwedeStats) May 26, 2018

When asked during the press conference, Graham Potter said that he will have a “glass of red wine and then go on vacation” which makes us all wonder when this will be wrapped up.

He added that it’s “not easy” as his family are settled in Sweden, but that it’s a “big challenge” to take them back to the Premier League and to give them an “identity”.

It does sound like it’s a project which appeals to Potter, but the difficulty will be moving his away to another country again, having settled in Sweden for the last 7 years or so.
