Town in Loan Talks For Chelsea Striker - Ipswich Town News
Town are targeting the loan signing of Chelsea striker Armando Broja.
The 22-year-old was linked with the Blues early in the transfer window with rumours circulating on the TWTD Forum earlier this morning.
The EADT reported that the Blues are interested in Broja and TWTD can confirm that discussions regarding a loan move are in progress regarding the £35 million-rated striker.
Slough-born Broja, who is 6ft 3in tall, moved to Stamford Bridge form Tottenham’s youth set-up in 2009.
Since then, he has spent time on loan at Vitesse, Southampton and Fulham, while making 11 starts and 27 sub appearances, scoring three goals for his parent club.
Capped by Albania at full level 23 times, scoring five goals, and featuring at Euro 2024, Broja had previously been linked with a move to Everton.
Premier League clubs are allowed only two domestic loans at one time, four over the course of a season, as well as six international loans, although with exemptions relating to players under-21.
