News about Armando Broja

Everton have hijacked Ipswich 's move for Chelsea striker Armando Broja and completed a late move for the Albanian. Newly-promoted Ipswich had been going back-and-forth with the Blues throughout the summer, with a deal for Broja looking set to be completed before hitting a snag. As reported by Mail Sport earlier this week, Broja was poised to move to Portman Road on a season-long loan with a £30million obligation to buy should Ipswich avoid relegation from the Premier League .

Armando Broja's proposed move from Chelsea to Ipswich Town has stalled. As reported by Mail Sport earlier this week, Broja was poised to move to Portman Road on a season-long loan with a £30million obligation to buy should Ipswich avoid relegation from the Premier League. Broja has already played in the Premier League for three different clubs.

Anyone around west London in need of ringers for their five-a-side team this week? Asking for friends named Raheem, Ben, Romelu, Kepa and Trevoh. Sterling, Chilwell, Lukaku, Arrizabalaga and Chalobah are among the Chelsea players who have been told they cannot train with the first team at Cobham because they are not in new boss Enzo Maresca's plans. The first four were signed for a combined £270million. The fifth grew up in the academy. All are set to train separately until they negotiate an exit which ends their exile, like Armando Broja, who is close to securing a season-long loan to Ipswich.

SIMON JONES: Chelsea striker Armando Broja is close to finalising his move to Ipswich Town.  The deal is for a season-long loan and is expected to include an option to buy worth in the region of £30m This would become an obligation if Ipswich were to avoid Premier League relegation.  The 22-year-old is expected to undergo a medical with Ipswich tomorrow. Chelsea, who have signed Joao Felix for £44.5m from Atletico Madrid, plan to add another striker with Napoli's Victor Osimhen on their wish list. 

KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Chelsea are still looking to offload players as they try to trim their bloated squad, and one Man City sibling in particular is impressing.

Ipswich Town are pushing to sign two forwards as they look to bolster their attacking options for the new season. The Tractor Boys have agreed a deal with Blackburn Rovers for striker Sammie Szmodics and have made an enquiry over a Chelsea player. They kickstart life back in the top-flight against Liverpool on Saturday.

KIERAN GILL IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA: Broja was left out of the squad that lost 2-1 to Real Madrid at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte but was not carrying an injury. The 22-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham , is expected to leave this summer.

KIERAN GILL IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA: Atletico Madrid have had a £33.7million bid accepted for Gallagher, who joined Chelsea at the age of six. He is set to become the latest academy starlet to be sold since the current ownership took over, after Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mason Mount , Ian Maatsen, Billy Gilmour , Callum Hudson-Odoi, Omari Hutchinson and Lewis Hall. Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja may follow Gallagher out of the Cobham exit this summer also.

Some big names have been left out of Chelsea's US pre-season tour, with uncertainty over the futures of six players in particular.  The club have named a 28-man squad that will fly out to the United States, with their first game against Wrexham in California on Wednesday.  Enzo Maresca's side will then go on to face Celtic, Club America, Premier League rivals Manchester City, before concluding the tour with a game against Real Madrid in Charlotte, North Carolina on August 7. 

Multiple stars who unfollowed Fernandez including Christopher Nkunku, Malo Gusto, Benoit Badiashile , and Armando Broja were snapped at the club's Cobham training centre on Wednesday. Tensions are high after Fernandez filmed a video of the Argentina squad singing a 'racist' chant about the French football team after their Copa America final win. Blues stars Wesley Fofana and David Datro Fofana condemned the video, while Nicolas Jackson has showed solidarity for Fernandez by posting a video of him with a black mascot.

Broja has struggled to make the grade at Stamford Bridge, while he didn't make a single Premier League start during his loan spell at Fulham in the second-half of this past season. The Blues are considering offers for the forward who is deemed surplus to requirements at the Premier League giants.

SIMON JONES: Chelsea have discussed a potential deal involving striker Armando Broja in their offer for Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The 25-year-old midfielder has turned down a proposed move to Brighton and is waiting for Chelsea to agree terms with Leicester after an opening bid was made on Friday. Chelsea are understood to have also mentioned David Fofana and midfielder Cesare Casadei as they look to reach an agreement.

A single goal from Ferran Torres earned Spain a straightforward 1-0 win over Albania, securing their spot in the knockout stages of Euro 2024, and dumping their opponents out of the competition. The result means not only do Spain top Group B, but they do so with a perfect record of three wins out of three, and not a single goal conceded. It will not be wasted on Luis de la Fuente's men that the last European Championship in which Spain managed this feat, was at Euro 2008 - a tournament they went on to win. Torres' low strike in the 13th minute looked like it might open the floodgates for Spain, but it ended up being a relatively quiet match across both halves, save chances from both sides being saved comfortably.

Croatia are odds-on favourites to secure their first win of their Euro 2024 campaign - with Luka Modric and Co priced at 4/9. Meanwhile, Albania are 6/1 outsiders to cause the upset. For those after longer odds and more detailed bets - Sky Bet are offering three Price Boosts and a Scorecast Boost for this contest. The price boosts include Mateo Kovacic to commit 2+ fouls at 1/1, Armando Broja to win 3+ fouls at 4/1, and Luka Modric to score from outside the area at 10/1. The scorecast boost - which is valued at a huge 40/1 - requires Andrej Kramaric to score first and Croatia to win 2-1.

MATT BARLOW: Little is expected of Albania, drawn to face Italy, Spain, and Croatia in what appears the toughest group of Euro 2024, although their rise from footballing obscurity over the last decade deserves respect and commands attention. Firstly, they have a striking new South American influence led by familiar faces from the Premier League. Sylvinho, the former Arsenal, Barcelona and Brazil left back has taken Albanian citizenship such is his commitment to the role of head coach and his assistants are Pablo Zabaleta, stalwart of Manchester City and Argentina, and Doriva, a Brazilian from the samba years at Middlesbrough. More significant though and no less intriguing has been the diaspora of young Albanians drawn back to reconnect with their ancestry through the national team. Players such as Slough-born Armando Broja of Chelsea rejected overtures from illustrious footballing nations in what has been one of the key shifts in eight years since their major tournament debut at Euro 2016.

Defending champions Italy are 4/11 favourites to win their opening Euro 2024 fixture in Dortmund tonight. Meanwhile, Albania are 15/2 outsiders to cause the upset, while a draw is priced at 10/3. If you're looking for more detailed bets - Sky Bet are offering four Price Boosts that have odds both short and long. The boosts include each team to have 1+ shot on target in each half at 11/10, and Bryan Cristante to commit three or more fouls at 9/2, Gianluigi Donnarumma to make 4+ saves at 6/1, and Armando Broja to score at 7/1.

Euro 2024 is now days away and managers from the 24 teams have named their final squad list. With over 600 players across Europe set to feature at this year's European Championship. Here is a breakdown of every Premier League player appearing at Euro 2024 by club.

The Premier League were unsuccessful in their attempts to close a loophole that enables clubs to use profits from the sale of hotels, training grounds or other tangible assets to stay in keeping with financial fair play rules, according to reports. Chelsea had sparked outrage in April after the west London club sold a hotel on their Stamford Bridge site to another company the club owns - in a bid to avoid breaching the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules (PSR).

Additional funds will be welcome at Stamford Bridge, as the club only narrowly remained compliant of the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules in the latest set of accounts, which were released in April. The majority of the figure comes from two deals involving players going to the same club.

Underestimate Albania at your peril, because the Group B underdogs aren't arriving in Germany just to make up the numbers, even if they are faced in the fabled 'Group of Death'. Only Georgia are lower in the FIFA Rankings than the Albanians, and they have been placed as the rank outsiders in the tournament down to who they are facing in the group stage. However, as they proved in qualifying, Albania are one tough nut to crack and have been built on a hugely solid defensive base - guided by a combination of some familiar Premier League faces in their coaching staff. Although the might of Spain, Italy and Croatia is a daunting task, it's one the Albanians will relish as they embark on only their second-ever major tournament appearance.

The latest international break may be over, but the narratives and discussions surrounding various national teams are only likely to rise in the run-up to Euro 2024. The 24 teams that will be competing in Germany this summer have been confirmed at the conclusion of Tuesday's play-off finals. Among the bookies' favorites to win the tournament are France, England, Germany, and Portugal, which will begin in Munich on June 14th.

JOE BERNSTEIN FROM CRAVEN COTTAGE: Fulham took a big stride toward the top half of the Premier League table after beating Tottenham 3-0 on Saturday in a sensational Champions League match. Spurs had won their last seven league games at Craven Cottage, but Ange Postecoglou must be worried that just a week after thrashing European rivals Aston Villa 4-0, his players were so sluggish.

Chelsea's net income by selling ten players with the Blues could reach a dramatic peak this summer as they continue to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Guidelines (PSR). In the first full year under Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital's ownership, the club reported a tax loss of £90.1 million last week. Chelsea FC Holdings Limited's accounts showed the loss for the 12-month cycle until June 30, 2023.

SAMI MOKBEL: Armando Broja's loan agreement was terminated on January 31st, and the Cottagers were forced to relocate to west London, having been quoted £50 million to commit him permanently. Fulham would pay nothing if Broja played 60 percent or more of the games, of which there were 16 at the time.
