Comparing Armando Broja’s 2021-22 stats with Chelsea’s other forwards

Broja, a product of the Chelsea academy, has impressed during his loan spell at Southampton and has led plenty of supporters to demand his return to Stamford Bridge next season.

But would Tuchel entrust Broja with a place in his starting XI? Especially when Chelsea have a host of experienced internationals to choose from.

And Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl recently said: “He knows how important it is for him as a player to play continuously.

“Here he gets that chance and has shown he fits to us and our shape. There are a lot of examples where players after changing clubs do not perform like they have done with us.”

Whether Broja returns to Chelsea, stays at Southampton or moves elsewhere, it’s clear that the Albania international has a bright future in the game.

We’ve compared Broja’s 2021-22 Premier League stats at Southampton with the league numbers for Chelsea’s current forward options.
