The 22-year-old returned to action for Chelsea in September after missing nearly six months due to a cruciate ligament ιnjury he sustained in December 2022.

Although he has made 17 appearances for Chelsea this season and scored twice, Mauricio Pochettino has not given Javier Broja a starting role.

The Albanian international has attracted interest from three clubs this month: Fulham, Wolves, and West Ham.

The Athletic also claims that Chelsea is open to selling Broja permanently.

The article goes on to sаy that Chelsea’s ability to acquire a new striker before the January transfer window closes has no bearing on Broja’s future with the club.

Pochettino gushed over Broja’s potential after the Blues’ 4-0 FA Cup third round victory against Preston North End earlier this month.

“I must be honest with you, he needs to score in this style of game, feel the net, and improve,” Pochettino stated.

Get in better shape and work on his body language as well. He must take the initiative, move forward, and act. An upbeat attitude would serve him well.

The possibilities are enormous. Here we are discussing one of the most promising young strikers in all of Europe and England.However, he must now challenge himself, and we will endeavor to assist him in understanding that it is never sufficient.

His delay was almost a year, and now he obviously needs more time. Maintaining the kind of performance we anticipate is challenging for him. We have a lot of faith in him and have high expectations. Every day, we will encourage him to do better.

“Smile,” I told him. Every time we see him, we make fun of him and tell him he has to be a happier, more positive person.
