Leeds United signed Izzy Brown on before the transfer deadline.
Leeds United agreed a late deal to sign attacking midfielder Izzy Brown from Chelsea on loan before Friday’s deadline.
Brown has been brought in to play as cover for star man Samu Saiz.
His versatility is one of the reasons his signing could pay off for the Whites.
This is because Brown can also operate as a striker, with Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton saying last season he was ready to deploy him up front if required.
Hughton told The Argus: “It certainly is an option for us. He’s a very flexible forward player.
“He has that versatility in his game.”
As well as playing as a number 10, Brown can play on the wing too.
He would be fourth in line up front behind Kemar Roofe, Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts.
Brown is currently recovering from an injury which he suffered at Brighton and hopes to become an option for Leeds in the coming weeks.
It is the second half of the season where Leeds hope his impact will really be made, and prove their ace in the pack as they bid to win promotion.
