It’s been reported that Leeds United could be looking to add another Chelsea man to our ranks before the loan transfer window closes this Friday. That would be Izzy Brown.
Teamtalk reported that the versatile attacker was looking to move on from Stamford Bridge this summer for greater game time as he’s not going to feature for Maurizio Sarri and it was already known that Marcelo Bielsa was actively trying to source some cover for Samu Saiz.
21-year-old Brown played for Huddersfield in the second half of the 2016/17 campaign, helping them to promotion into the Premier League but a spell with Brighton last season wasn’t quite as successful as he was dogged with injuries again.
The Yorkshire Evening Post’s Phil Hay has been active on twitter breadcrumbing information about our latest target and it does point to Brown potentially being the man.
Over a number of tweets, he revealed.
they aren’t going to sign another CB. Bielsa doesn’t want one. They’re chasing one before the deadline – midfielder to cover Saiz.

all being well today, they’ll do one deal before the deadline (probably confirmed tomorrow). Attacking midfielder, young and from the Premier League

player is versatile but prefers to play through the middle.

slightly complicated one (as should become clear if it goes through) but a good player with useful experience

Most have read the slightly complicated as meaning he would arrive not completely fit.
It’s not guaranteed but there is certainly a groundswell now, and Huddersfield fans aren’t happy as they stumbled over the speculation.
Izzy Brown under Bielsa? He could be a monster for them.
