Sheffield Wednesday: Fans react as Isaiah Brown signs on loan

Sheffield Wednesday are showing their intent to have a good campaign next season as they have have announced their third signing of the transfer window.

The Owls tweeted out that 23 year-old midfielder Isaiah Brown has signed for the club on loan for the 2020/21 campaign from Premier League side Chelsea.

The player has had various spells on loan in the Championship, including at Huddersfield and more recently Luton Town where he played last season. At the Hatters, he clearly did a fair bit to help the club stay in the division as he managed one goal and seven assists in 25 appearances, whilst also managing 2.1 key passes a game and 2 successful dribbles per game, via WhoScored.

If Monk felt like he was lacking creativity then he definitely shouldn’t now as Brown’s key passes would rank him second in the Wednesday squad, 0.1 behind Barry Bannan.

Before the Chelsea player signed on loan, the next Owls player after Bannan with the most key passes was Fernando Forestieri with 1.2 and he has now left. Therefore the Owls have been quick to identify a weakness in their squad and try and find a solution to it.

Here is what fans said following the news:

Only has 1 year on his contract so surprised we got him on loan, hopefully he can come on a free next season if we stay up/if he doesn’t outgrow us.

If he can stay fit could be quality. Had some bad injuries though that have kept him out for a hell of a lot of time.
