Chelsea striker Armando Broja is set to join Burnley after Everton loan spell | OneFootball

Chelsea striker Armando Broja is set to join Burnley after spending last season on loan at Everton, according to RMC Sport.

The 23-year-old was with the Toffees last season, playing 11 times across all competitions.

He failed to weigh in with a goal or an assist as his fitness struggles hindered him from regular opportunities.

Everton opted against doing a permanent deal for Broja as they prepare for life at Hill Dickinson Stadium and have signed French striker Thierno Barry from Villarreal instead.

However, Burnley are keen on the Chelsea outcast upon their return to the Premier League, and he will be desperate to prove himself after some underwhelming performances in recent seasons.

The Albanian international was at Fulham in 2023-24, making only eight appearances without scoring.

Broja impressed in 2022-23, notching nine goals in 38 games for Southampton, and Everton were hoping he could recover that form last term.

Things did not go as planned, and Broja will be keen to shine for Burnley. They are desperate to impress as they look to retain their Premier League status.

The Turf Moor club have completed permanent deals for Bashir Humphreys, Jaidon Anthony, Marcus Edwards and Zian Flemming after their impressive loan spells last term.

Clarets manager Scott Parker has also added Quilindschy Hartman, Max Weiss, Axel Tuanzebe, Loum Tchaouna, Kyle Walker and Jacob Bruun Larsen to his squad, and Broja is next in line.

He is no longer needed at Chelsea as they have more than enough attacking options.

Parker will be eager to pull out all the stops to get the best out of Broja and have him firing on all cylinders.
