Chelsea expected to sell striker after loan deal

Chelsea are expected to part ways with Armando Broja following his short-term loan deal at Fulham, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Albanian ace struggled for playing time with the Blues earlier this season and he was loaned out to the Cottagers in the New Year.

However, Broja has barely played for Marco Silva's side due to the emergence of Rodrigo Muniz, who has been exceptional up front.

Broja will return to Stamford Bridge during the summer and Romano reports that he will leave the Blues on a permanent transfer.

A number of European and Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on him and are prepared to guarantee him with regular minutes.

Aside from Broja, the Blues are expected to part ways with other graduates.

Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah and Ian Maatsen could head for the exit door as the hierarchy look to balance the financial books.

Chelsea stand to receive pure profit from the sale of their academy graduates and it is a prime reason why Gallagher could depart.
