From Chelsea To Fulham, Armando Broja Moves To Next Neighbor

JAKARTA - Striker Armando Broja moved to a neighbor next door in West London. The Chelsea forward crossed into Fulham on loan until the end of the season.

Broja's move was only completed before the deadline for the end of the player's transfer window. There were concerns that his move to Fulham would be canceled. But the process was finally completed just an hour before the closing.

Be a player move from two clubs that are both based in West London. Fulham agreed with a price of 4 million when borrowing this Chelsea forward.

Fulham beat Wolverhampton Wanderers who also targeted this 22-year-old player.

"I feel very happy to be here. I can't wait to meet the players, the manager and start the game here," said Broja.

"Fans always take an important role. I can't wait to play at the Cragen Cottage. I will work hard and build a strong bond. I feel honored and happy to join this club," he said.

Meanwhile, Fulham's top leader Tony Khan said he was happy that the club could reach an agreement with Chelsea. Moreover, The Cottagers got a young and talented striker.

"I'm glad we reached an agreement to bring Armando to Fulham. He's a young and talented striker. Armando is happy to join our squad and play under Marco Silva's leadership," said Tony, son of Fulham owner Shahid Khan.

The recruitment of Broja is expected to fix the sharpness of Fulham's front line. He replaced Raul Jimenez who suffered a hamstring injury. Moreover, Fulham also lost Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Broja, who actually comes from Chelsea's academy, has difficulty getting a place in the senior team. Mauricio Pochettino's manager has not put his trust in the club's own products.

This is what makes Broja only score two goals during Chelsea's 19 matches in various competitions.

Chelsea itself continues to plan to strike a player who can actually strengthen the England national team. The club hopes that by loaning Broja to Fulham, the price of the player can be higher.
