Chelsea striker Armando Broja has signed a new long-term contract that will keep him at the Premier League club until 2028, the London team announced on Friday.
Broja, 20, was reportedly on the radar of West Ham United, Newcastle United and Everton in the closing season but has committed himself to Chelsea after breaking into the first-team in the opening weeks of the new season.
“I’m really at a loss for words just thinking about it. It’s the club I’ve dreamed of playing all my life, the club I support and the club I love,” Broja told Chelsea’s website.
“I’ve been here since I was a boy, so it’s a surreal feeling for me and my family.”
The Albania international was on loan at Southampton last season and scored nine goals in 38 games in all competitions. He has made three substitute appearances for Chelsea this season.
Thomas Tuchel’s side, in tenth place with seven points from five games, host West Ham United on Saturday.
