Armando Broja has joined Fulham on a late January deadline day arrival. This is seen as a needed forward arrival, especially after Jimenez's injury. Mauricio Pochettino, the Chelsea boss, has expressed satisfaction with the options upfront and believes it's a good move for Broja to have the opportunity to play more. Pochettino also revealed Chelsea's interest in signing a player good at set-pieces in the summer. Broja was on the bench for his first game, and it's noted that the squad is currently stretched. There's a focus on Fulham's need for a goalscorer and how Broja fits into the team.
Not a surprise Broja doesn't start, joined late on Thursday and match prep will have begun before then. Silva always references the need for new signings to adjust to style etc. https://t.co/2C4StO8dxf
Broja on the bench for his first game. Squad certainly stretched at the moment though. Youthful bench — Sekularac joined by de Fougerolles and highly rated 17yo midfielder Josh King. Ballo Toure returns after AFCON duty. #FFC https://t.co/OAW57pdNrj

Fulham need a goalscorer, and so they have turned to Armando Broja. They will want him to emulate Mitrovic, who has left a hole in their attack. Can he follow in his footsteps? (And avoid being an RLC?) A look at how he fits in with @jeffrueter: #FFC https://t.co/u41EyvnaW1
🚨🔵 Pochettino reveals Chelsea want to sign player good at set-pieces in the summer. “We don't have a specialist and we were talking about trying to find for next season a good one”. “Look at West Ham. Ward-Prowse. You add a player like him, you increase the percentage”. https://t.co/c7hmCyr686

⚪️⚫️ Pochettino on Chelsea not replacing Broja: "The options we have upfront is enough". "It's a very good thing for Armando, to have the opportunity for him to play more. It's a good move for him. I hope he can take the opportunity to play more". https://t.co/2pUYFOrYfH
🔵 Pochettino when asked on Chelsea project. "We want results today and it's difficult to wait... but look at Liverpool". "At Spurs we beat them 4-1 at Wembley [in 2017] and a few years later they won the Premier League and UCL". "That defeat was not the end of the world!". https://t.co/mmn6DgB5bh

🗣️ Mauricio Pochettino on #CFC's project. "It's true we want results today and it's difficult to wait. But look at Liverpool. At Spurs we beat them 4-1 at Wembley [in 2017] and a few years later they won the Premier League and #UCL, so that [loss] was not the end of the world." https://t.co/nKimUZGLU4
Broja arrives, Palhinha stays, Vincius to depart. A quiet transfer window but with some late, and needed, activity: #FFC https://t.co/eENiFSypTv
Window over. Another late one. And quiet, though a needed forward arrives (even more so after Jimenez's injury). One who has something to prove. But that reminds me of another, young late night January deadline day arrival... Stage is set for Broja. #FFC
remarkable it took so long. Good chance for Broja to get some game time and show what he can do…more than he will get at #CFC https://t.co/NGVwt4zfZC
