The Albanian struggled for playing time under Pochettino and he was handed less than 700 minutes across all competitions.

There were no surprises that he was loaned out to Fulham on deadline day and when asked about it, Pochettino was pleased.

He said: "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."

Broja was described as one of the best strikers in the Blues academy, but he has not progressed after his serious knee injury.

He now has the chance to play regular first-team football with the Cottagers to prove that he can make the grade at Chelsea .

If he does not make a significant impact, there is a high chance that he could be sold by the Blues during the summer.
