Chelsea forward Armando Broja has not seen much action as a starter, prompting suggestions he could get a loan spell away from the club in the near future.
The Albanian forward was away on loan at Southampton last year and impressed in his time at St. Mary’s, with many believing he would get a fair shout in the Chelsea first-team this season.
In the summer, there were loan offers for him, however, Thomas Tuchel wanted to keep hold of him and new boss Graham Potter has reiterated that feeling.

Over the summer, Broja considered a transfer away from Chelsea, with West Ham United one of the interested clubs but that didn’t materialize and the Hammers signed Gianluca Scammacca instead.
When Broja signed his deal, he felt he would get chances aplenty: "I see it as a massive opportunity for me and my family. This is my boyhood club. I love to play for Chelsea... it's a big-stepping stone from where I was last season to where I am now."

So far this season, Broja has rarely started with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling preferred over him in the team.
There is interest for a possible loan deal in the January transfer window, with the likes of Everton and Newcastle interested in a deal for the young forward.
Broja started the summer considering a permanent move with West Ham coming closest to signing him. But both Thomas Tuchel and now Graham Potter reassured him just how integral he is to #CFC. Chelsea never wanted to sell & his new long-term contract reflects their faith in him.

Both Premier League sides are monitoring a deal for him and this deal comes with no option to buy, with Chelsea still maintaining they have no intention to sell and that the new contract was an indication of faith.
Chelsea’s stance, supported by manager Potter is that they don’t want to let Broja go in January, even if they get in another attacker in the January transfer window.
