Chelsea Fans Fear Broja Could Be Used in Part-Exchange for Caicedo
Chelsea fans are concerned that Armando Broja could be used in part-exchange for Moises Caicedo after the Blues reportedly agreed personal terms with Villarreal striker Nicolas Jackson. Broja, who impressed on loan at Southampton during the 2021-22 campaign, suffered a cruciate ligament injury in December, which curtailed his breakthrough season. Despite Jackson’s impending £30million arrival, supporters are hoping that Broja will still be given another chance to shine.
Broja’s Potential Exit
Chelsea are also keen to sign Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, and the Seagulls are reportedly interested in a host of young Blues starlets that could be included in a deal, including Broja. Fans have taken to social media to express their concerns about the potential exit of the Albanian striker. One fan wrote, “Broja for me is still the best in terms of tight angle finishes, never got the chance, instead we were playing Havertz up front.” Another fan moaned, “Really don’t get why Broja or Fofana just weren’t given a chance.” A third fumed, “If this means Broja leaves, I’m gonna lose my mind.” And another added, “I hope Broja goes out on loan. Letting him go on a permanent would be another HUGE mistake.”
Brighton’s Interest in Chelsea Players
In addition to Broja, Brighton is believed to be interested in Conor Gallagher as well as former loanee Levi Colwill. The Blues have reportedly turned down a £30m bid from the Seagulls for Colwill. Caicedo, 21, is claimed to have agreed terms on a move to Stamford Bridge, despite previously wanting to join Arsenal.
Broja’s Return to Action
Despite the rumors of his potential exit, Broja will reportedly be ready to return to action in time for Mauricio Pochettino’s first training session at the helm. The Albanian striker impressed during his loan spell at Southampton, scoring 11 goals in 36 appearances across all competitions. He also made five appearances for Chelsea during the first half of last season before his injury.
