Heading into the summer transfer window, Armando Broja found himself in a precarious position at Chelsea. Following a disappointing campaign with the Blues and a lackluster loan spell at Fulham where he managed just 2 goals in 27 appearances, the 22-year-old striker was among those most likely to leave the club.
After much speculation and uncertainty, it has been confirmed that Broja will be making a move to Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town. Initially agreeing to a season-long loan, with the potential to make the move permanent in the future, Broja’s future now lies with The Tractor Boys.
Reports circulating today suggest that Ipswich and Chelsea have reached an agreement that includes a loan deal with a conditional purchase clause. Under the terms of the agreement, Ipswich will cover Broja’s salary for the upcoming season. If the team manages to avoid relegation, the move will become permanent for a fee of approximately £30m.
Despite showing promise at the Premier League level, Broja’s progress has been hindered by an ACL injury suffered a couple of years ago. The move to Ipswich presents a fresh opportunity for the talented forward to reignite his career and help his new team succeed in the top flight of English football.
