Armando Broja grew up watching YouTube clips of legendary forward Ronaldo – and the Brazilian would have been proud of the finish produced by the Chelsea academy graduate against Wolves for what was his first goal for his boyhood club.
Broja joined Chelsea at just eight years old; an approach from the Blues enough for him to leave Tottenham Hotspur. His rise through the academy ranks wasn't quite straightforward but in the second year of his scholarship, Broja blossomed into a prolific goalscorer for Chelsea.
A professional contract was signed and a loan to Vitesse followed. The goals continued. In the summer of 2021, the Albania international agreed a new five-year deal at Chelsea and spent the following campaign at Premier League side Southampton. It was an important learning experience.
