For me it’s a big no as his record is rather underwhelming and he’s struggled for game time at Chelsea. His situation sounds all that too familiar to that of the one and only Albian Ajeti who was signed by Neil Lennon for £5 million from West Ham back in 2020.David Moyes couldn’t wait to get rid of him and we’d soon discover for ourselves the reasons why that was the case.

Ajeti too was an international striker and was highly rated despite his lack of game time with the Hammers but as we all know his time at Celtic was rather underwhelming at best and after failing to make any sort of impact he eventually went out on a loan spell to Austrian side Sturm Graz before eventually leaving for Turkish Super Lig side Gaziantep in 2023.

It might all turn out to be speculation, but Broja to me would be a similar sort of signing and one we should he giving a wide berth.
Apparently Arsenal are the latest club to be linked with Armando Broja which if correct probably means he is a much better player Tham I am giving him credit for. And with London wages in the Premier League being what they are there’s little chance of Celtic matching or beating what the Albanian forward is currently on or what he’d be paid if he moved to North London.
Let’s file this one as a non starter and leave it there.
