Southampton have completed the signing of Armando Broja from Chelsea.

The Saints have announced on their official website that they have signed the young forward on a season-long loan deal from Premier League rivals Chelsea.

The 19-year-old is delighted to have made the move to Southampton.

Broja told Southampton’s official website: “I feel very happy. I was really excited to join Southampton. It’s obviously a very good Premier League club.

“They’ve got a good history and they play in the best league in the world, so it’s amazing for a young player to experience it, be in and around a Premier League team, and learn and develop from the older players, the staff and everyone here. It’s a very good opportunity.”

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhüttl said: “Armando is a very talented player who we were impressed by last season.

“He is young, but he comes now with a full season of experience in senior football with a good team, and he brings a lot of qualities that can help us.

“He is a strong, quick player with a good instinct and this makes him a good fit for the way we like to play.

“I know how highly regarded he is by Chelsea, and I think this will be a good place for him to continue his own development as well.”

Southampton can be backed at 9/5 on Betfair to finish in the top half of the Premier League table this season.
