DONE DEAL: MK Dons sign Chelsea striker Charlie Brown on permanent deal

MK Dons have signed Chelsea striker Charlie Brown on a permanent deal.

The 21-year-old joined the Premier League club from Ipswich Town in 2016 and although he never made a first-team appearance he was a prolific scorer across the youth teams.

He told the club website: "This is an opportunity I've been waiting for.

"I've seen the way the team plays, with a lot of possession and creating a lot of chances for the strikers. It's going to be up to me to finish those off."

Dons manager Russell Martin added: "He's shown a lot of intent to come and play for MK Dons - turning down some more lucrative offers because he believes in what we're doing here.

"I believe the way we play and the culture we're building will suit him really well. He's scored a lot of goals at youth level but I believe we can improve him even further."
