Fulham have signed Chelsea striker Armando Broja on loan for the rest of the season.

Broja, 22, has made 19 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea this campaign, scoring two goals.

The Albania international was also a target for Wolves and AC Milan this month.

He missed half of the 2022-23 season after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in December 2022.

Broja is a graduate of Chelsea's academy and has scored three goals in 38 appearances since making his debut against Everton in March 2020.

Football Focus reporter Liam MacDevitt gets put through his paces at Wolves - but can he pass the medical tests that any prospective new player would have to go through before signing?

Thumbs up if you think clubs should have to announce their signings by 23:00 GMT on deadline day.

Lyon have released a statement criticising West Ham for their failure to get the Said Benrahma paperwork done in time.

Oh Armando Broja, what are you doing right now? Where are you?

Fulham, could you please just announce Armando Broja so we can all go to bed?

If we find out they're delaying it to record a clever announcement video...

West Ham United have confirmed Said Benrahma's loan move to Lyon wasn't completed in time.

There are reports elsewhere that Lyon could appeal to Fifa.

No.

Will we have any announcements at midnight?

🙏

Almost midnight now. Here's what we've had so far:

• Crystal Palace have signed midfielder Adam Wharton for £18m from Blackburn Rovers.
• Sheffield United sign Everton defender Mason Holgate on loan.
• Villa forward Bertrand Traore joins Villarreal on a free transfer after terminating his contract.

• FC Seoul make offer for Jesse Lingard.
• Burnley have signed centre-back Maxime Esteve from Montpellier and Rennes defender Lorenz Assignon - both on loan until the end of the season.
• Pablo Fornals is set to join Real Betis from West Ham.
• Nottingham Forest sign striker Rodrigo Ribeiro on loan from Sporting Lisbon until the end of the season, as well as the permanent signing of goalkeeper Matz Sels from Strasbourg.
• Lyon sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Orel Mangala on loan.
• Aston Villa have signed 21-year old forward Morgan Rogers from Middlesbrough for £8m plus add-ons.

• Newcastle have signed 18-year-old midfielder Alfie Harrison from Manchester City for an undisclosed fee.
• Brighton midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud has joined Stuttgart on loan for the rest of the season.
• Fulham close in on loan deal for Chelsea striker Armando Broja.
• Bournemouth have signed striker Enes Unal on loan from Getafe.
• Newcastle midfielder Isaac Hayden has joined QPR on loan.

Stoke City striker Dwight Gayle has left the club before the deadline. That means the 34-year-old is free to find a new team at his leisure.

The announcement came after the Potters signed Blackburn striker Niall Ennis for an undisclosed fee.

I don't see Crystal Palace going down with the manager they have got and the way they play - they will always grind the results out.

Of course there is some unrest talk about the banners, the manager and the future. How do you attract players when the manager is not going to be their long term?

Adam Wharton will be delighted with the move he is a good singing. I do believe Palace have got too much quality to avoid relegation.

We're just waiting for Fulham to sign Chelsea striker Armando Broja and West Ham's Pablo Fornals to join Real Betis now.

Fulham have a deal sheet in with the Premier League for Broja and Fornals is in La Liga's system as 'provisional'.

French striker Karim Benzema was linked with a move away from Al-Ittihad in January but will hold clear-the-air talks with the Saudi Pro League club, who want the 36-year-old to stay for another season.

That's according to the latest football gossip. Read more here.

What we are storing up is a spending circus in the summer as there is so much pressure on the clubs.

We have seen the news on Everton and Nottingham Forest and the huge amount of pressure that the Premier League is under from the government for an independent regulator.

Everybody is scared with what to do right now they [Premier League clubs] will be looking at their future transfer strategies.

I imagine the spending will be much heavier in the summer.

According to French website L'Equipe,, external Said Benrahma's loan move from West Ham to Lyon has collapsed.

They say everything had been agreed but West Ham forgot to enter information in Fifa's transfer software.

Aston Villa duo Tommi O’Reilly and Josh Feeney have joined Real Union for the remainder of the season.

Villa have a partnership with the Spanish side and head coach Unai Emery has a majority stake in the club.

I don't fully understand [Armando Broja joining Fulham on loan] given the fact that some people say Chelsea need a striker.

Nicolas Jackson is missing too many chances, Christopher Nkunku has been unavailable - so you would think Broja is the guy to go and fill that gap.

Is this the sort of Profit and Sustainability type situation where this is the value and he has to go?

The upside for him is that he's going from West London to West London so he won't have to move house.
