Chelsea manager Mauricio Pcohettino believes that young striker Armando Broja can handle the uncertainty around his future.

The attacker is very much a part of Pochettino's plans at Stamford Bridge for this season.

However, he is being linked with a move away from the club, with the Blues board eager to sell the homegrown asset.

Pochettino told reporters: “I think I was talking last week about that. Look, speculation always. Speculation and we need to live with that. Nothing to communicate and it is quiet. Everything is so quiet and relaxed here."

On how much they could improve with a fit and firing striker, he added: “It's difficult to guess. To have a player that can score 20 plus, then you would've won more games and been in a different position in the table. It's true, if we compare our performances to other teams, we are near the top, only in terms of performance.

“We need to build our victory in different ways and try to be clinical because we want to win games. We cannot regret and we cannot go back. We need to learn and to be better in the future."
