Huddersfield missed out on Izzy Brown a year ago, now he is set for Leeds United on loan.
Leeds United have confirmed a move to sign Chelsea attacker Izzy Brown on a season long loan deal.
Brown spent the 2016/17 season on loan at Leeds’ rivals Huddersfield Town.
He is still admired by Terriers fans, who pleaded with him not to sign for Leeds
The attacking midfielder joined Brighton last season instead of Huddersfield, even though they were keen to bring him back.
Town boss David Wagner said Huddersfield tried desperately to re-sign Brown, attempting a permanent switch.
Wagner said: “There are no secrets, everybody knows we tried everything to keep Izzy here.
“Unfortunately we were not successful in signing him. The circumstances were not good, it was nobody’s fault and we had to accept it.
“Chelsea are the club who had to make the decisions and it’s something we respect and accept and now we meet him again.”
Brown might wish he had been allowed to head back to Huddersfield, after his spell at Brighton was cut short when he suffered an ACL injury in January.
The attacking midfielder is now looking to rebuild his career in the Championship, at Huddersfield’s rivals Leeds United.
