FULHAM are set to win the race to sign Armando Broja on loan from Chelsea.

The Albanian striker had been in demand for a temporary deadline day move amid rival interest from Wolves.

However, the Independent report that the Cottagers have agreed to sign Broja from their West London rivals.

The deal includes a £4million loan fee with conditions regarding the number of minutes he plays for Fulham.

If Broja does not play a certain number of games when fit and available then Fulham would be forced to pay more, the report adds.

Wolves had hoped to land the 22-year-old until the end of the season after agreeing the same terms with Chelsea.

The player has instead chosen to stay in London and head to Craven Cottage.

The signing is Marco Silva’s first of the January transfer window.

According to The Athletic, AC Milan also launched an approach before financial constraints scuppered any potential deal.

The Italian giants could still return for the Albanian international in the summer.

Broja has scored two goals and provided two assists in 19 appearances for Chelsea this season.

He last spent time away from the club during the 2021/22 season, scoring nine times for Southampton.
