Armando Broja Set to Leave Chelsea and Join Burnley on Permanent Transfer

Armando Broja is ready to leave Chelsea and join Burnley in a permanent transfer. Both clubs have agreed on the move. The Albanian striker has accepted the offer and will soon have his medical check to complete the transfer.

BROJA’S CHELSEA EXIT AGREED

Broja is leaving Chelsea after facing difficult times, including a severe knee injury and several loans. Last year, he played 10 games for Everton in the Premier League. A knee injury in December 2022 disrupted his progress at Chelsea. According to reports, this transfer is part of an active transfer window for Chelsea, who have been making several attacking signings.

Broja could not secure a regular spot despite his time at Southampton. With Chelsea getting new strikers, they decided to let Broja go. Burnley met Chelsea’s asking price for Broja, and he agreed to join. His medical check is soon, and then he’ll become a Burnley player.

BURNLEY PREPARING FOR THE PREMIER LEAGUE

After finishing second in the Championship with 92 points, Burnley has returned to the Premier League. They aim to strengthen their squad for the top league. They had issues scoring in their last Premier League season and urgently need an experienced striker. Burnley only allowed 16 goals and kept 30 clean sheets in the Championship season, highlighting their defensive strength but also underscoring the necessity for offensive reinforcements.

Broja hopes to add speed and strength to their attack and play more than he did at Chelsea or Everton. Burnley gets a young forward with Premier League experience and is determined to make a comeback after tough years with injuries and competition for spots.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BROJA AND BURNLEY?

Once Broja completes his medical and the deal is confirmed, he’ll join Burnley’s squad for their first Premier League game against Tottenham. The 2025/26 season starts for Burnley as they aim to avoid relegation. Burnley’s previous season saw them finish second and earn promotion, making their return to the Premier League significant.

Tottenham finished 17th in the previous Premier League season and it was just announced that Son will be leaving the team, so they are in the lookout for another team leader, and Burnley will want a strong start. If Broja is fit, he might play immediately as Burnley looks for a quick impact from their new signing.
