Armando Broja has revealed why he snubbed a future at Tottenham Hotpsur as a child and, instead, chose to sign for London rivals Chelsea. The 21-year-old striker joined the Blues academy as an under-nine and, after recently penning a new six-year deal at Stamford Bridge, he's extended his stay until 2028.
In an interview with The Players' Tribune, Broja detailed how he caught the attention of the north London side at a tournament but was initially hesitant about joining the club. The Albania international said: "I remember going to a tournament. The Tottenham scout actually came to watch another boy.
"I happened obviously to play well that tournament and I got top goalscorer and I got best player at the tournament so they approached my Mum and Dad before I even knew about it. So, when I came back my Mum and Dad said, 'Tottenham came over to us' and I was thinking, 'who's Tottenham?'"
