Jamie Redknapp questions Armando Broja as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Chelsea transfer justified

Jamie Redknapp has questioned whether or not Armando Broja is ready to step up into Romelu Lukaku's Chelsea role as the Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang transfer idea has been given the 'green light' by the former Spurs midfielder.

The Blues started their win at Goodison Park with Kai Havertz leading the line but alongside Mason Mount in the attack, both players struggled to make a real impact. Consequently, the likes of Christian Pulisic and Broja were brought on to try and impact the game and in both their short cameos, they showed promise but not enough to muster the all-important second goal that would have consolidated Jorginho's first-half penalty.

Despite the Raheem Sterling £47.5million acquisition that looked like a smart investment, especially after his star performance in this game week 1 clash, questions remain over whether or not the Blues' attack will have enough depth to really threaten Man City and Liverpool at the peak of the table. "In general, it was maybe not the most exciting Premier League game in the history of the Premier League. Seven minutes of extra time in the first half, ten minutes in the second half tell the story. There were a lot of interruptions, no team could find a rhythm," Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel responded when asked to deliver his attacking performant verdict in his post-match press conference.
