Armando Broja has been ranked by “The Athletic” as the second worst transfer of the season in the Premier League. In total, there are 189 names that were approached by Premier League clubs. Journalist Tim Spiers from London analyzed all the transfers of the transfer window. He even addressed Coventry, Ipswich and Hull City not to consider Broja as an option. These are clubs that have just joined the Premier League, as was Burnley when they decided to transfer the Albanian national team striker.

The first place in the list is held by Harvey Elliott. The latter was loaned from Liverpool to Aston Villa and did not give anything. In first place as the most affected transfer is an Albanian, namely Granit Xhaka who was bought from Sunderland and became the captain. Xhaka led the team to the Europa League.

Before continuing with his analysis, the English journalist leaves the note: "Please remember, it's just for fun."

REPORT PUBLISHED BY “THE ATHLETIC”

Second worst transfer: Armando Broja from Chelsea to Burnley

Reported transfer amount: £20 million (with bonuses)

Signed contract: 5 years

First impressions: It's really hard to argue that Broja is the striker who will help Burnley secure survival in English football's top flight, considering that in the last three seasons, between Chelsea and loan spells at Everton and Fulham, he has scored just three goals in 58 appearances. Yes, you read that correctly. That's not a typo.

Conclusion: Given the transfer fee, he probably should have been the worst signing, but to be honest, expectations were low. Three goals in 58 appearances has turned into four goals in 84 games. If you're Coventry, Ipswich or Hull City, don't even consider him as an option.
