Blues prospect joins Millers on loan

Izzy Brown of Chelsea

Chelsea striker Izzy Brown has joined Rotherham United on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old captained the Blues to an FA Youth Cup and Uefa Youth League double in 2015, and at the end of that season made his first-team debut against former club West Brom.

An England Under-19 regular, Brown spent last season with Vitesse Arnhem, scoring once in 22 appearances in the Dutch top flight.

He becomes the ninth Chelsea player to join a Football League club on loan this season, after Tomas Kalas (Fulham), Kasey Palmer (Huddersfield), Tammy Abraham (Bristol City), Jordan Houghton (Doncaster), Alex Kiwomya (Crewe), Mitchell Beeney and Alex Davey (both Crawley) and Jamal Blackman, who signed for Wycombe on Monday.
