As in previous seasons, Chelsea still has a large army of loanees in the 2021-22 season, which are distributed in the Premier League, Championship, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1, Turkish Super League, Russian Super League and other venues. Among those players who have trained on loan, there is no shortage of candidates who have performed well and have doubled their value several times, such as the young striker Broya who was loaned to Southampton.
Broia was born in England to parents from Albania. Broia, who grew up in Chelsea's academy, made his Premier League debut on 8 March 2020, in the 29th round of the 2019-20 Premier League, and by the 86th minute of the game, Chelsea was leading 4-0, with Broia, wearing the number 57 shirt, coming off the bench to replace Giroud, who had already scored. This became Broya's only appearance in the Chelsea first team so far.
In the summer of 2020, the young Broia became part of Chelsea's larger team on loan, travelling on loan to Dutch side Vitesse. In the 2020-21 Eredivisie, Broia was given a number of playing opportunities, scoring 10 goals in 30 appearances to help Vitesse finally finish fourth in the Eredivisie table.
After a season of training at Vitesse, Broia was sent to Premier League side Southampton on loan in the summer of 2021.
In the 8th round of the 2021-22 Premier League, Southampton beat Leeds United 1-0 at home, and the starting Broa scored his first goal in the Premier League and became the first Albanian player to score in the Premier League. So far, a total of two Albanian players have appeared in the Premier League, the first Albanian player to appear in the Premier League is Kana, but Cana, who played for Sunderland in 2009-10, has not scored, and broia has now made history.
Broyard has represented Southampton in the Premier League 18 times, including 10 of them starting and scoring five goals. The 20-year-old striker, who is 1.91 meters tall, let's take a look at his other four Premier League goals.
In the ninth round of the Premier League, Southampton drew 2-2 at home to Burnley, and Broia took the ball into the box and fired a low right-footed shot.
In the 15th round of the Premier League, Southampton drew 1-1 at home to Brighton, broia calmly dunked inside the box, and then a low right-footed shot from the outside of the foot broke the goal.
In the 17th round of the Premier League, Southampton drew 2-2 away to Crystal Palace, and Broia showed his long-range shooting skills.
In the 18th round of the Premier League, Southampton won 4-1 at home to Brentford, received a pass from Romeu, and Broia dribbled into the box and single-handedly broke the goal.
Broa's value has risen considerably with his outstanding performances at Southampton on loan, and his contract with Chelsea only expires in June 2026, and the 20-year-old's young striker's career prospects now seem to be clear.
Although born in England, Broia ultimately chose to wear the Albanian national team's shirt, and so far he has made 10 appearances in the national team, scoring three goals, all three of which appeared in the 2022 FIFA World Cup European Qualifiers.
In the 2022 FIFA World Cup European Qualifiers, Albania was in the same group as England, Poland, Hungary, Andorra and San Marino, and Albania, with 6 wins and 4 losses and 18 points, finally ranked third in the group and did not qualify for the play-offs.
Broya made seven appearances in this World Preliminary Tournament, including two starts, scoring a total of three goals, and in addition to scoring 1 goal in Albania's 5-0 home win over San Marino, Broya scored the only goal of the game against Hungary at home and away, both of which were quite wonderful.
In the 87th minute of Albania's 1-0 home win over Hungary, when it received a teammate's backcourt, Broia burst into the box and scored a low right-footed shot that killed the opponent.
Albania's 1-0 away win over Hungary then progressed into the 80th minute when Broja broke through from the right and faced multiple defenders with a low right-footed shot from inside the box.
In the Albanian national team, there are a number of players who play in the five major leagues in Europe, including many players in Serie A, and in the latest edition of the FIFA rankings, Albania ranks 66th. In the World Cup qualifiers and European Championship qualifiers, Albania already has a certain combat effectiveness, in the future, Broia has the hope of appearing with Albania in the World Cup or European Championship.
