Broja expressed excitement about the move and looks forward to the new challenge. “It’s a really positive time to be joining this club ahead of the start of the new Premier League season,” he said. “I’m feeling good, I’m ready, and I’m excited about the challenge of playing for this club.” The 23-year-old forward added that he could already feel the support from Burnley fans. “I will be giving my all every time I pull on the famous Claret shirt,” he promised.
Broja is the second player to join Burnley from Chelsea this week. Midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu also made the switch to Lancashire, signaling a busy summer for the club. Burnley are making significant moves to reinforce their squad following promotion back to the Premier League. The club hopes Broja’s pace and physicality will bring a new dimension to their attacking line. Manager Scott Parker, recently appointed, sees Broja as a key piece in the team’s attacking setup.
Striker Brings Premier League Experience After Loan Spells Across Europe
Broja began his Chelsea senior career in 2020 and made 38 appearances in all competitions. Despite his potential, he struggled to secure consistent first-team minutes with the London club. To gain experience, Broja spent loan spells at several clubs, including Vitesse Arnhem, Southampton, Fulham, and Everton. At Southampton, he had a particularly promising run, scoring nine goals across competitions during the 2021–22 season.
His time in the Premier League has helped him develop the physical and tactical tools needed at the top level. Burnley now hope to tap into that experience as they prepare for life back in the top flight. This signing also reflects the club’s commitment to building a competitive squad with long-term potential. Broja joins a number of young, high-upside players added to Burnley’s roster this summer.

With the season fast approaching, Burnley’s aggressive recruitment signals ambition and readiness. Broja’s signing not only strengthens the squad but also sets a confident tone for the club’s return to the Premier League.
