“Dream Come True”: Armando Broja Reveals Everton Fans Were Key Factor in Loan Move
In an exclusive interview with Everton FC, Armando Broja cited the club’s passionate fanbase as a major reason for his decision to join on loan from Chelsea. The 22-year-old Albanian striker, who completed his move on deadline day, expressed his excitement about playing in front of the Goodison Park crowd.
“The main thing that stood out for me was the fans,” Broja said. “The atmosphere was remarkable, even when I was on the away team. It’s special, and I can’t wait to be on the right side of the fans this time. They’re an amazing fanbase, and they really love their football.”
Broja, who is currently nursing an injury, acknowledged the pressure to deliver immediate success at Goodison Park. However, he’s confident that his presence will positively impact the team and push his teammates, like Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto, to perform at their best.
“I’m really excited to be here and to be a part of this team,” Broja said. “I know the fans have high expectations, and I want to deliver for them. I want to score goals, create chances, and help the team win games. I’m confident in my ability, and I know I can make a difference. The fans have been amazingso far, and I can’t wait to get out on the pitch and repay their support.”
The loan deal, which includes a £30m option to purchase, represents excellent value for Everton, especially since the club won’t pay Broja’s wagesuntil he’s available for selection. With nine league goals in his last loan spell with Southampton, Broja is expected to make a significant contribution to the team’s goal-scoring efforts.
As Everton looks to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season, Broja’s enthusiasm and commitment to the club’s fans are likely to make him an instant favorite at Goodison Park. The Blues are winless in their opening three Premier League fixtures, but Broja’s arrival could be the catalyst for a turnaround.
Broja also praised the club’s rich history and tradition, saying, “The stadium has been around for a long, long time. Much longer than me! There are so many memories here, and it’ll be very nice to play here before we move.” His respect for the club’s heritage and his desire to be part of its future are clear.
With Broja on board, Everton fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead. His pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability will undoubtedly bring a new dimension to the team’s attack. As he works towards his Goodison Park debut, Broja is eager to repay the faith shown in him by the club and its supporters.
