Chelsea striker in advanced talks to join Burnley

Chelsea striker Armando Broja is reportedly on the cusp of joining Burnley on a permanent transfer this summer.

The Albania international has been loaned out by the Blues over the past few seasons, and he is now expected to leave on a permanent basis.

He has undergone his medical with the Clarets and it is a matter of time before he pens a long-term deal at the newly promoted side.

Broja has had troubles with injuries during his young career and he will be aiming to prove his credentials with his move to Turf Moor.

Burnley had the best defensive record in the Championship last season, but they are expected to face a stern challenge on their top-flight return.

They have already sold their goalkeeper in James Trafford and may need a huge effort from the rest of the squad to avoid possible relegation.

Burnley have placed their faith on Broja and he needs to repay the trust with plenty of goals to preserve the club's Premier League status.
