New Chelsea owners handed potential next Didier Drogba amid Thomas Tuchel striker crisis

Chelsea loanee Armando Broja has been ranked as one of Europe's best performing under-21 outfield talents from this season by the International Centre for Sports Studies. CIES, who factored performance compared to teammates, the pedigree of opposition and game time into their findings, rated the striker ahead of Gabriel Martinelli, Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala.

Bukayo Saka beat Broja to the top spot and was crowned as the leading youngster this season from across 32 European leagues. The Cobham graduate's feature among some of the world's most sought after stars hands prospective Chelsea owners an easy decision to make ahead of the summer.

Under Roman Abramovich's ownership, the west London side outlined a price tag amid growing interest in Broja's services, according to Tuttomercatoweb. Reports claimed that any suitor would have to spend more than £50m to convince the Blues to cash in.
