Chance at Chelsea beckons for Armando Broja

sport">11.42 am: Armando Broja can hope to follow in the footsteps of Mason Mount and Nemanja Matic at Chelsea, so far the only two former London mercenaries at Vitesse to break through at Stamford Bridge. The Champions League winner is according to SkySports satisfied with what Broja has shown this season in Arnhem. In his first season with the seniors, the striker with Albanian roots played 34 games in which he scored eleven goals.

sport">According to SkySports, Chelsea wants to open negotiations with Broja to extend his contract until mid-2022 and the Londoners are considering giving the striker a spot in the A-selection next season.

sport">A lot is expected to change at Chelsea this summer in the striker position.

In the English media, Romelu Lukaku and Erling Haaland, among others, are mentioned as renowned candidates for the striker position
