Chelsea have changed their mind about 22-year-old player and he could leave today
But according to a report by
, his colleague at The Athletic, Chelsea is willing to let Armando Broja to depart on a straight loan.
For the 22-year-old, a brief relocation away from Stamford Bridge would be beneficial.
With just six Premier League starts under his belt this season, Mauricio Pochettino has not given him many opportunity.
Although it is difficult to understand how Chelsea would gain by letting Broja temporarily join another Premier League team, it appears that they are now willing to let him go on loan.
The Blues are unlikely to profit much from such a deal because it is a straight loan with no buy-in requirement.
If they let go of Broja, they will also make themselves very light up front. The only two natural strikers in Chelsea’s lineup are Nicolas Jackson and the international for Albania. It will also be challenging for the team to find a replacement for him because the transfer window is so late.
Although Christopher Nkunku has a strong injury history this season, he is still capable of leading the line.
However, if you’re Broja, it makes perfect sense to go on loan to another team. Even with Jackson not playing, Pochettino has frequently ignored him this season.
Armando Broja of Chelsea may be permitted to depart Stamford Bridge today on a standard loan.
Simon Johnson claimed that Chelsea was only interested in doing a loan with a purchase obligation.
