# Chelsea hold the cards in £50M power-play for Potter favourite

Chelsea have “all the power” in regards to the future of Albanian striker Armando Broja.

That is according to journalist [Simon Phillips](https://www.givemesport.com/88081653-chelsea-transfer-news-striker-graham-potter-stamford-bridge), who has informed [GIVEMESPORT](https://www.givemesport.com/88081653-chelsea-transfer-news-striker-graham-potter-stamford-bridge) that the SW6 side would price Broja out of a move if a club were to enquire about signing him.

The 21-year-old is not a regular starter under Graham Potter, but is highly valued by the Chelsea boss and is a player who he trusts.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Phillips [said](https://www.givemesport.com/88081653-chelsea-transfer-news-striker-graham-potter-stamford-bridge): *“I don’t think a loan move will happen, and I also don’t expect a permanent move to happen because Chelsea now hold all of the power there. If any clubs enquire, I think they would price him out of a move because they rate him highly at the club.*

*“They want him to stay. Potter trusts him, not enough to start him regularly yet, but he trusts him to come on and make an impact and make a difference.”*

## **Chelsea’s power-play**

Having signed Broja on a long-term deal, the Blues are in a healthy position to negotiate heading into the January transfer window.

They are in complete control of what they want to do with the asset.

If a club like West Ham, Newcastle United or Everton come in for him, having looked at the possibility of securing his services in the [summer transfer window](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/armando-broja-transfer-newcastle-everton-interest-chelsea-striker-west-ham-scamacca-1759364), the club could either drum up a mega fee, loan him out or keep him as a back-up striker.

The latter is Potter’s preferred option and he has indeed put his trust into the youngster, granting him [11 Premier League appearances](https://www.fotmob.com/players/1077975/armando-broja) this season.

The Albanian has only managed to drum up a solitary goal in that time, but has looked a threat for the majority of his [214 minutes played.](https://www.fotmob.com/players/1077975/armando-broja)

If Potter is trusted at the helm long-term, we could well see Broja emerge as the club’s starting centre-forward.
