Luis Enrique helps Thomas Tuchel make easy £58m decision as 'next Didier Drogba' passes audition

Armando Broja caught Luis Enrique's eye in as Spain waltzed past Albania 2-1. The former Barcelona boss admitted that he's been keeping tabs on the 20-year-old striker, impressed from what he's seen thus far.

Enrique, who had the pleasure of coaching Luis Suarez at the heights of his success, labelled showered Broja with praise, claiming that he'd cause even the 'best central defenders in the world' a problem. The 51-year-old's seal of approval should hand Thomas Tuchel the final ultimatum that he needed before plotting the striker's route into the Chelsea first-team.

Broja has enjoyed a tremendous rise to superstardom and has become a spearheaded figure for club and country, directly contributing towards five goals in last five caps for Albania. Talking in his post-match press conference, Enrqiue said: "Broja is very strong. If you look at him at Southampton he causes problems for the best central defenders in the world."
