Armando Broja hasn’t had a fair crack at the whip with Chelsea and he could move elsewhere
Crystal Palace’s end to the season was nothing short of superb with Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta all chipping in with a host of goals and assists to fire the Eagles up the Premier League table. But despite their goalscoring efforts and Mateta’s red-hot form, the club are in the market for a new striker this summer – with Ben Jacobs exclusively telling GIVEMESPORT that a move for Armando Broja is in their eyesight.
Mateta joined Palace in January 2021 on an initial eighteen-month loan deal, with the opportunity to sign him for £13million at the end of his spell. Six goals in 29 Premier League games initially saw him struggle in the Premier League, and just two strikes to his name last season furthered that belief with Odsonne Edouard being the main focal point. But whilst Oliver Glasner’s arrival in February saw Mateta become the Premier League’s most informed striker over the final three months of the campaign, it appears they want someone to rival him – and Broja could be that man, with Jacobs stating that they are part of a seven-team race for the Albania international’s signature.
