Armando Broja has been tipped to replace Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea.

The Albania striker is thriving on loan with Southampton this season, having scored seven goals in 10 Premier League starts.

Southampton are pushing to sign Broja on a permanent deal, but according to Thomas Bruns, who played with the 20-year-old at Vitesse, Chelsea should do everything to keep their academy graduate.

Speaking to Dutch outlet Voetbal, Bruns said: "He sees Mason Mount as his example," he said.

"He also did well at Vitesse and is now a key player at Chelsea.

"No shocking numbers, but apart from those ten goals, he has shown what other qualities he has. I think he can make it to the first team at Chelsea within four years.

"That will also be his goal. They will need a new striker anyway if Lukaku wants to move on in the long run. I think he could do that."
