It will be a second successive year in the Championship for the
23-year-old, who helped Luton Town retain their league status last term
with a string of impressive displays and a team-high eight assists. The
Hatters finished 19th, three places and three points clear of danger.
Brown has been a Chelsea player since the summer of 2013 when he signed
from West Brom at the age of 16. He captained our Under-19s to UEFA Youth
League glory in 2014/15, scoring a brace in the final against Shakhtar
Donetsk, and he was also part of the Under-18s team which lifted the FA
Youth Cup, netting in the second leg of our final win over Manchester
City.
The forward made his senior debut against his former club in the
penultimate Premier League game of the 2014/15 campaign and then embarked
on a maiden loan to Vitesse the following season, where he made 24
appearances.
Spells at Rotherham and Huddersfield followed in 2016/17 and he ended that
season helping the Terriers to promotion via the play-offs having scored
five times in the second half of the campaign.
Injuries hampered subsequent loans at Premier League Brighton and then
Leeds but Brown re-established his fitness and form at Kenilworth Road in
2019/20, playing 28 times and contributing to nine goals.
He joins a Sheffield Wednesday side who will start the season with a
12-point deduction following breaches of financial fair play rules. The
Owls finished 16th last term under Garry Monk.
