Ipswich set to sign Chelsea striker Broja on loan

Ipswich are set to sign Chelsea striker Armando Broja on a season-long loan in a deal that could become permanent.

The newly-promoted club have included a clause that would see them sign the 22-year-old on a permanent basis for £30million should they avoid relegation.

The Albania international was initially reluctant to move to Portman Road but was convinced on Tuesday to complete a move that is expected to go through in the following 24 hours, pending the completion of a medical.

Ipswich have used the windfall from promotion to upgrade Kieran McKenna's squad, adding Omari Hutchinson on a permanent basis from Chelsea, along with Ben Johnson, Liam Delap, Arijanet Muric, Sammie Szmodics, Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste.
