Izzy Brown Joins Leeds United from Chelsea on Loan

A good signing this. He's versatile, attacking minded and proven at this level with Huddersfield. I was hopeing he would kick on with Brighton last season, but this seems like the ideal opportunity for him to get back on track.

Could be a good fit for Leeds, this. I remember him more at Huddersfield than at Brighton and have the same impression - due to his attacking nature he'll fit well with the way Bielsa has Leeds playing.

Yeah, Rotherham was where he initially made a name for himself on loan and then Huddersfield watched him and took him there the following season. That was where he really flourished for Wagner. Last season was a complete write off because he had two bad injuries. Been in rehab since.

We have brought him in, not so much for the now but for as the season goes on. He plays in a similar role to Saiz so I expect he will act as cover and competition once he is brought up to speed. Hopefully he has a similar impact for us.

We definitely needed strengthening because the squad is incredibly lightweight.
