Chelsea loan star Armando Broja spotted beating Southampton badge on his chest after scoring against Tottenham

CHELSEA loanee Armando Broja was seen beating the Southampton badge on his chest after scoring in Thursday’s 3-2 win at Tottenham.

The striker, 19, netted his sixth Premier League goal of the season as Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Saints completed an incredible comeback in north London.

Reports claim Southampton are willing to break their transfer record with a £25million bid for Broja this summer.

And the Albanian international did little to downplay talks of a permanent move as he proudly beat the Saints crest on his jersey after a 23rd minute equaliser against Spurs.

It prompted Southampton fans to dream of an incredible summer heist, having already pinched top young right-back Tino Livramento from Stamford Bridge.

One gushed: “We gotta buy him.”

Another added: “Tapping the badge, interesting. He’s good enough for Chelsea but they can’t ‘trust’ him. Stays at Saints, trust me.”

However, Blues supporters made it known that they are desperate to see Broja back at Cobham.

One tweeted: “Proper Chels.”

Another noted: “Take him over Lukaku any day.”

One added: “Chelsea love 3 point Lane.”

Indeed, Thomas Tuchel is said to be a big fan of Broja and reportedly sees him as part of his project at the Bridge.

But when asked about Broja’s future, Saints boss Hasenhuttl provided a coy response.

He said: “I have learned in football not to look too far ahead.

"I am happy that he is here right now. He knows what is best for him. Our job is to make him better and everything else is coming for him.”

Broja isn’t the only Chelsea player on Southampton’s shortlist, with attacking midfielder Tino Anjorin also lined up once his Huddersfield Town loan ends.
