The 20-year-old enjoyed a successful second half of last term at Huddersfield, helping the Yorkshire side to promotion to the Premier League.

Terriers boss David Wagner was weighing up an £8million bid for the England Under-20 star who is keen to continue his development by playing regular football.

Southampton were also alerted to his availability, but Brown has decided to link up with Chris Hughton on the South Coast.

The Premier League champions are keen to hold on to Brown who has two years on his current contract and want to reward his progress with a new deal and pay rise.

Brown moved to Chelsea from West Brom aged 16 in 2013 and has had loan stints at Vitesse Arnhem, Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town.

Meanwhile Chelsea youngster Tammy Abraham has signed a new five-year-contract at Stamford Bridge.
