Burnley Secures Armando Broja from Chelsea in a Deal Valued Up to £20 Million
Armando Broja Joins Burnley in £20 Million Deal
Armando Broja, a 23-year-old striker, has completed his move from Chelsea to Burnley in a deal reported to be worth up to £20 million (€23 million). The transfer marks Burnley's ninth signing of the summer transfer window [1][2][3][4].
Broja, who came through Chelsea’s youth system, made his senior debut for the Blues in 2020 but struggled to establish himself in the first team, scoring only three goals in 38 appearances. He had loan spells at Vitesse Arnhem, Southampton, Fulham, and Everton, with varying degrees of success [1].
The move to Burnley represents a significant investment for Chelsea, considering Broja's recent form, and is seen as an opportunity for him to restart his career with more stability [1][2]. The details of the contract length and terms have not been publicly disclosed.
Broja has expressed his excitement about joining Burnley ahead of the new Premier League season. He stated, "I can already feel the support from the Burnley fans, and I am ready to give my all every time I play for this club."
The Albanian international has signed a five-year contract with Burnley and is expected to join up with Scott Parker's squad ahead of their pre-season friendly against Lazio this weekend. With this signing, Broja becomes the second player to arrive from Chelsea this week, following the earlier signing of Lesley Ugochukwu.
Burnley begin their Premier League campaign on Saturday, August 16, with an away match against Tottenham Hotspur. Broja will be eager to make his mark in his first game for his new club.
