Chelsea loan Izzy Brown to Premier League newcomers Brighton

Brighton and Hove Albion signed attacker Izzy Brown from Chelsea on a season-long loan on Monday.

Brown, 20, had been wanted by Huddersfield -- who he helped to promotion during a loan spell last season -- but has instead opted to make the switch to the south coast.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton told the club's official website: "The natural progression for Izzy, having enjoyed such a successful season in the Championship last season, was to step up to the Premier League. We are delighted he will be doing that with us here at Brighton.

"He is a player with great potential and will bring a different dimension to our attacking options for the season ahead, alongside our existing strikers.
