Youngster: I still don’t regret swapping West Brom for Chelsea

Izzy Brown has insists he holds no regrets over joining the blues as a teenager.

The 20-year-old talented player has been hailed as one of the brightest prospects in an already talented Blues academy – with others likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ola Aina and Dominic Solanke.

However, he has not been able to force his way into the first-team setup on a regular basis so far.

It is believed that the deed still irks West Brom to this very day as they promised the player regular football in the club. However he insists that the opportunity to join the club he supported could not be dismissed.

“I don’t regret the decision to leave. Maybe I would have had more Premier League games but everyone has a different pathway,”
