Chelsea striker Charlie Brown has moved out on loan for the remainder of the 2019/20 season.

The 20-year-old, who has five goals in 18 appearances this season for our development squad side, is joining Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. It is his first loan.

Brown joined Chelsea from Ipswich Town in the summer of 2016 and enjoyed a prolific maiden season for the Blues' Under-18s, notching 10 goals in 20 league appearances, most of which were as a substitute. That form was rewarded with a development squad debut before the end of the campaign.

Last season Brown was topscorer across the Academy sides with 20 goals from 31 appearances. He signed a new contract in October 2018, committing him to Chelsea until the summer of 2021.

Royale Union Saint-Gilloise are based in Brussels and compete in the Belgian second division where they are currently fourth.
