Fulham FC confirm the signing of striker Armando Broja on loan until the end of the 2023/24 season.
Making the short trip across from Chelsea, the 22-year-old will be looking to make an impact, similarly to how he previously did at Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem and Southampton FC.
The Albanian international said, “It feels amazing. I’m really happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started, meet the players and manager and play for the fans.”
“The fans always play a big role and I can’t wait to go to Craven Cottage and meet them all. I’m going to work hard for the team and create a real bond.”
“I’m really honoured and excited to be here.”
Tony Khan added: “I’m very excited that we’ve reached an agreement to bring Armando Broja to Fulham on loan until the end of the season.”
“He’s a young and talented striker who is happy and motivated to join our squad and to play for Marco and his staff!”
Broja signed for Chelsea’s Academy towards the end of Under-9s level and continued to score regular goals as a centre-forward and wide man. After reaching 20 Academy goals in the 2019/20 season, he went on to make his senior debut in a Premier League fixture against Everton.
The youthful striker made a few more appearances off the bench for Thomas Tuchel’s side before making his UEFA Champions League debut away at Dinamo Zagreb.
He remained in favour after the arrival of new Head Coach Graham Potter, featuring in five of Chelsea’s six European group-stage fixtures during the 2022/23 campaign.
Broja later went on to score his first goal in a 3-0 win over Wolves, before making a full debut at Brentford.
Following a period on the sidelines with an injury, the forward made his return against Aston Villa in September 2023, before marking his first start since returning with a goal at Craven Cottage.
