Armando Broja: Southampton sign Chelsea teenager on season-long loan

Southampton have signed teenage Albania forward Armando Broja on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

The 19-year-old, who has won six senior caps for his country, scored 11 goals in 34 appearances on loan at Vitesse in the Netherlands last season.

Broja signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea this summer and has impressed for the Blues in pre-season.

"Armando is a very talented player who we were impressed by last season," said Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.

"He is young, but he comes now with a full season of experience in senior football with a good team, and he brings a lot of qualities that can help us.
