Fulham have announced on their official website that they have secured the services of Broja on a loan deal until the end of the season.

As we reported on HITC, Chelsea were initially looking for an obligatory clause of £40 million, but the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners eventually lowered their demands.

Tony Khan reacts

As you can see below, Fulham Sporting Director Tony Khan is over the moon to have signed Armando Broja from Chelsea on a loan deal.

Khan seems to rate the 22-year-old Albania international striker very highly.

Broja is a very talented player and is rated highly by Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.

There have been injury issues for him in the past, but the youngster is fit and available now.

It will be interesting to see how Broja does at Fulham in the coming weeks and months.

The 22-year-old will hope to hit the ground running at Craven Cottage and make an immediate impact on the team.

Broja made six starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea this season. He scored one goal in those games.

The striker has made 58 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. Broja has scored eight goals in those games.

Fulham are 13th in the Premier League table now with 25 points from 22 matches.
