Burnley Signs Striker Armando Broja From Chelsea

Burnley has signed Albanian striker Armando Broja from Chelsea for a reported fee of around £20 million, securing him on a five-year contract as they prepare for their return to the Premier League. Broja, 23, developed through Chelsea's academy and made 38 appearances for the Blues but struggled to find regular first-team football, spending loan spells at Vitesse Arnhem, Southampton, Fulham, and Everton. Despite injury challenges limiting his recent appearances, Burnley views Broja as a key addition to strengthen their squad under manager Scott Parker. Broja expressed excitement about joining Burnley and his readiness to take on the challenge, noting the strong support from the fans. He becomes Burnley's ninth signing of the summer, with the club aiming to build momentum ahead of the new Premier League season. Broja has also made notable contributions at the international level, scoring five goals in 27 appearances for Albania.
