Broja Town Move 'Unlikely'
Thursday, 15th Aug 2024 14:54

Chelsea striker Armando Broja is reportedly unlikely to join the Blues on loan.

According to various reports, the 22-year-old is currently assessing a number of options in the Premier League and overseas and would be reluctant to move to Town. One source suggests the situation could drag on until the window closes.

It emerged earlier today that the Blues have held talks with Chelsea regarding Broja, who was linked with Town early in the transfer window, with a view to a loan.

According to BBC Sport, Chelsea are understood to be keen on a permanent deal rather than a loan having valued the Albanian international at £35 million.

Earlier in the week, it was reported that Broja would be keen to join Everton should Dominic Calvert-Lewin depart Goodison Park.

Slough-born Broja, who is 6ft 3in tall, moved to Stamford Bridge from 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 goal, for his parent club.

Broja has been capped by Albania at full level 23 times, scoring five goals, and featured at Euro 2024.

Monkey_Blue added 15:01 - Aug 15 Pity, but some on here were claiming he wasn’t good enough for us and yet has lots of options in England and across Europe. We should be impressed that we have posters on here who know better than Mck and other football experts across the continent.

The BBC website has an article entitled, “11 signings for £230m - what is going on at Chelsea?”. According to the article, they have;

8 goalkeepers

7 full-backs

9 centre-backs

15 midfielders

9 wingers

7 strikers (including Broja)

If that is correct then they may want to move some on. Given that we paid £20 million for Delap, I can’t see Broja being worth £35 million, but I understand that he is very talented.

bluearmy78 added 16:08 - Aug 15 If this doesn’t happen I’m sure we could target another biggish name in on loan, especially with us showing the intent & getting Phillips in

blues1 added 17:20 - Aug 15 Shouldn't read too much into this story. Has purely come from 1 journalist, who probably has no idea, and other sites reporting whst he said. As with all players linked to us, probably better to just wait and see.

algarvefan added 01:08 - Aug 16 I think he would have been great for the system we play, I watched him play for the Saints and he was awesome, very strong and great hold up play with a powerful finish, shame he is looking elsewhere in my opinion.
