Burnley has made a significant addition to their squad by signing Armando Broja from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee, rumored to be up to £20 million. The Albania international striker has committed to a five-year contract at Turf Moor, marking a pivotal moment for both the player and the club.

Broja expressed his enthusiasm about the move, stating, "It's a really positive time to be joining this club ahead of the start of the new Premier League season. I can't wait to get going." He added, "I'm feeling good, I'm ready, and I'm excited about the challenge of playing for this club. I can already feel the support from the Burnley fans. I can tell you all that I will be giving my all every time I pull on the famous Claret shirt."

This transfer follows the recent move of Lesley Ugochukwu from Chelsea to Burnley, highlighting a strategic shift in the club's recruitment policy. Broja, who first played for Chelsea in 2020, has made 38 appearances for the Blues across all competitions. However, his struggle for regular first-team football led to loan spells at Vitesse Arnhem, Southampton, Fulham, and Everton in recent seasons.

Broja's arrival marks Burnley's ninth signing of the summer, as they prepare for their Premier League campaign opener against Tottenham on 16 August. The club's proactive approach in the transfer market signals their ambition to compete at the highest level in the upcoming season.
