Burnley sign Armando Broja from Chelsea on permanent deal

Armando Broja has left boyhood club Chelsea after joining promoted Burnley for an undisclosed fee on a five-year contract.

Broja moved to Chelsea from Tottenham aged eight in 2009 before progressing through the Blues’ academy all the way up to the first-team ranks, where he made 38 appearances and scored nine goals.

However, Broja – an English-born striker who represents Albania, the country where his parents are from – has had several loan spells away from west London, most recently at Everton last season.

The Toffees decided against making the transfer permanent but with Chelsea bolstering their forward line with the big-money signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer, Broja has decided to move on.
