Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is reportedly not keen to leave Parkhead for a move to Brighton with a four-man shortlist emerging to replace Graham Potter.
Potter has been unveiled as Thomas Tuchel's replacement at Chelsea, with social media speculation touting the Celtic Park head coach as a potential successor at the Amex after his instant success in Glasgow's east end.
Pundit Danny Murphy had even gone as far to suggest the Stamford Bridge side should have made their move to bring in the Australian, while Parkhead hero Chris Sutton branded a move to the Seagulls a "downgrade".
Bookmakers had also touted Postecoglou as one of the frontrunners, but The Independent now report that an approach for the Celtic boss is "unlikely" to get off the ground.
