Town in Loan Talks For Chelsea Striker Thursday, 15th Aug 2024 12:03 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.

What’s going on this morning? Go on Town! | | |
TimmyH added 12:06 - Aug 15
Here we go another possible loan - Broja has been on loan a number of times over the last couple of years and has generally struggled in the Premiership, amazed though he's only 22. | | |

How does it work if we get Philips, the Swedish guy and Broja on loan if the maximum number of loans you can have is 2? | | |

Ashton’s clearly had extra Weetabix this morning! | | |

We would be daft to not make use of loans, TimmyH. We need to use the 2 domestics, and probably 2 more from abroad. Getting a midfielder and forward, neither of which we could outright purchase, in for the two domestic loans is fantastic business. | | |

Ippy89 - the limit is two domestic loans, not two overall loans. | | |
TimmyH added 12:15 - Aug 15
No agree as long as we don't have too many loans from now to the end of the transfer window (which was predictable)...if this comes off I wonder if Szmodics is off the table? He has struggled so far... | | |
TimmyH added 12:17 - Aug 15
As I said the silly season is here and always has been what ever league we're in we can't do no wrong whoever we get in and I've been on this site since 2008...personally don't feel this bloke is any better than Szmodics. | | |

Think I might just have to go and Lie down.... | | |

I wonder if this spells the end of the Szmodics deal? Szmodics would be more of a 10 and Broja a 9, but maybe shows we've moved on? Would love to have both. Personally, not worried about his goalscoring record – he's 22 and not really had a club to call home. Hirst was similar when he joined us and he's far more important than just his goals. | | |

And yet we are short of a goalscorer. | | |
Monkey_Blue added 12:38 - Aug 15
Goal scoring is a part of our strikers job but unless you’ve not been watching the last two years you’d know the majority of what McK wants from them isn’t about banging goals in. The three behind are our main goal sources. Good signing if we can get him and similar attributes to Delap and Hirst. | | |

I'm a bit perplexed by people saying they are not bothered by a potential strikers goal scoring record? Strange times indeed | | |
TimmyH added 12:56 - Aug 15
Monkey_Blue - that's if 'the three behind' have the ability too still score goals in the Premiership which is by far the biggest step up like they have done in the Championship and League One...but yes no doubt McK will be sticking to his tried and trusted formula. | | |
TimmyH added 12:56 - Aug 15
Arnie M - why the lie down? | | |
Leejames99 added 13:03 - Aug 15
Told you Broja be great! Jack Clarke or Szmodicks now and what a team, definately a team that can survive the drop. Leicester, Wolves, Everton go down | | |
BeattiesBackPocket added 13:05 - Aug 15
Christ TimmyH broja and Szmodics don’t even play in the same position if you watched football you’d know that! Szmodics plays as an attacking midfielder or number 10 not an out and out striker like Broja. Tell me where Ashton and McKenna have gone wrong so far past two years?? I’ll wait | | |

Some fans still banging on about smodics being a striker .He's not ......he's an attacking midfielder who was played further forward and scored a load one season ....Broja is not a smodics replacement ..he's s hirst replacement ..he hardly scores like hirst too | | |

According to Talksport at 1pm Sports News. Broja is keeping his options open. I hope this happens | | |
Hatman2 added 13:20 - Aug 15
Broja is a talent - did well at Southampton, young, can be developed, he’d be in great hands here and would be a strong option | | |
TomCruise added 13:31 - Aug 15
Not exactly prolific but he probably needs a permanent move to a club where he can find his feet and develop. A little similar to another former Chelsea player Solanke who needed a while to get going. Gosh, if we add Broja, Phillips, Szmodics, Cajuste and Alzate before the window closes that would be amazing. If we also add someone like Clarke, Odobert or Nelson we will be in dreamland. | | |
TomCruise added 13:34 - Aug 15
People need to remember who we are and where we are at. Our transfer business has been awesome. We seem to somehow have stayed loyal to the team that got us here, whilst adding young talent that will develop, doesn’t break the bank but includes additions with experience at much higher levels than anything we have had for a long, long . This is fantastic. | | |
