Brown started for the first time against Arsenal since the opening day defeat to Manchester City.

Chelsea signed Izzy Brown from West Brom aged just 16 and having already debuted for the Baggies by that time. Since joining the Blues, he has been loaned out to Vitesse, Rotherham (first half of 2016/2017) and Huddersfield(second half of 2016/2017), where he was the part of the squad that secured promotion to the Premier League. In 2017/18 he joined Brighton, a fellow newcomer in the league,on a season-long loan.

An opening day start against Man City ended prematurely where he came off injured after 24 minutes. Able to play in a multiple of attacking positions he could prove to be a vital player for the Seagulls. After five games out, he came back to the side against the Gunners and will hope to make an impact similar to that at Huddersfield where he scored 5 times during his short spell at the club.

FUTURE AT CHELSEA

Having signed for Chelsea at such a young age, expectation levels were always going to be higher. Unfortunately, injuries have interrupted his development during his time at various clubs. He is yet to find a position that suits his game the most with versatility often hindering player's development. A strong showing in the Championship with Huddersfield last season, although he might struggle to replicate it in the big league. If he can stay fit and get a run of games at Brighton, we should know if he's built for the Premier League.

A look into the future with Brown occupying the positions of the attacking trio could be possible however he has a long way to go if it is to turn into reality. He really needs to step it up at Brighton to have the spotlight over him as Chelsea are always on a lookout for top quality players.

Unlikely to break into the first team at Chelsea though and a possibility of number of loan spells is on the cards unless he gets going this season. Having signed at such a young age, his career has stalled since and might need a fresh start away from Chelsea permanently.
