Armando Broja details incredible story behind transfer that saw him leave Tottenham for Chelsea

Armando Broja has opened up on his decision to leave Tottenham for Chelsea as a youngster - with the striker revealing that the Blues poached him after watching him bag nine goals in a 12-0 win during his academy days in north London.

Broja recently penned a new six-year deal and is expected to be given a first-team chance by new boss Graham Potter after impressing on loan at Southampton last term.

The 21-year-old, who is highly thought of at Stamford Bridge, originally joined Chelsea back in 2009 after spending two years on the books at Tottenham's academy. But Broja has revealed that he landed his big break by impressing a scout who had come to watch somebody else play.
