Chelsea’s Albanian striker Armando Broja has officially joined Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town on loan for the 2024/25 season.

Broja has struggled for game time at the Blues and has been publicly on the market for some time with Chelsea looking to balance the books after yet another mammoth spending spree.

Ipswich have agreed the deal on loan initially but will have an obligation to make the deal permanent for a fee of £3o million if they are to retain their position in the Premier League come the end of the season.
