Armando Broja is confident he can be an influential figure in Chelsea's attack this season – and the academy graduate is not overawed about the prospect of competing for a starting role with summer signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
After two seasons away on loan – the first at Vitesse, the second with Southampton – Broja has been integrated into the first-team squad at Chelsea by Thomas Tuchel. The 20-year-old has made four appearances thus far and all have come from the bench as he builds up his match fitness following an injury-impacted pre-season.
Broja's latest outing was against West Ham United yesterday (Saturday); the Albania international was introduced for the final 30 minutes of the contest and played an important role as Chelsea came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory through goals from fellow substitutes Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz.
