Chelsea striker Armando Broja has made the permanent move to Burnley this summer.

The Albanian was highly-rated during his formative years at the Blues, but could not break into their first-team plans due to competition and injuries.

After four loan stints away from the Blues, Broja has eventually secured a permanent transfer to newly-promoted Burnley for around 25 million pounds.

Burnley have taken a gamble with the injury-prone striker and they will be hoping that he can come good for them in the upcoming league campaign.

Broja has yet to find consistency in his playing style and the 23-year-old will need some time to adapt to different tactics under manager Scott Parker.

Alongside Broja, midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu has also joined the Clarets on a permanent basis for Chelsea. He should provide more control for next season.

The Frenchman had a good loan stint with Southampton last campaign despite them being relegated from the Premier League with ease.
