Young midfielder Isaiah Brown has admitted that he would prefer to stay at Chelsea next season.
The 18-year-old, who made his senior debut for the Blues against West Bromwich Albion last night, has been tipped to leave Stamford Bridge on loan for the 2015-16 campaign.
However, Brown believes that he would benefit more from training alongside his Chelsea teammates on a regular basis.
"It is a hard balance, but if you're training with the best players in the world and learning from the best manager in the world, what more can you ask for? That's maybe more development for me than going to play in the Championship," he told the London Evening Standard.
The England youth international joined the West Londoners back in 2013.
