West Brom were so determined to keep Brown that they gave him a Premier League debut at only 16 years old. The young Englishman signed for Chelsea anyway and has been proving every since that the Baggies were not wrong to put so much faith in him. Chelsea fans have always been fond of players with crazy hair and Brown's giant afro is bound to be a fan favourite in the near future. He arrived at the club as a striker, and while he's seen plenty of action in a central role, he seems exceptionally well suited to playing the role of an outside forward on the left flank. Technically excellent with good height and a strong physique, he looks to have everything he needs to graduate to Premier League football before long. He made his first team debut in this year's pre-season and promptly caught the eye by scoring two exquisite goals in a 5-0 trouncing of Wycombe. He's expected to be around the Blues first team this season, albeit mostly in a training capacity, and is the second of three players Mourinho expects to be an England international in the next few years. Now 17, he still has some way to go before reaching that level, but it's already difficult to pick any major weaknesses in his game and he now only has to start getting regular football for him to really prove himself worthy of all the praise.
