Southampton will not make January bid for Armando Broja

Armando Broja is having such a good loan spell at Southampton that there are worrying whispers that the Saints will try to buy the striker outright.

We’re sure they will, and it will be down to Chelsea to ward everyone off and persuade the forward his future at Chelsea.

For us, it should be a pretty easy sell. Hi Armando, welcome back to Chelsea, you’re now our second choice striker after Romelu Lukaku, you’ll start at least ten games this season, and could start twice that if Lukaku picks up an injury.

Who says no?

In any case, the good news is that Chelsea can kick the can down the line and worry about it later. Alex Crook of TalkSport reports that there will be no bid from the South Coast this January, and things will come to a head in the summer.

That’s pretty much what we expected, but it’s nice to have it confirmed. Now go bang in some more goals, Armando…
