Ex-Chelsea defender Johnson insists Broja deserves chance

Former Chelsea fullback Glen Johnson says Armando Broja shouldn't be sold.

Johnson can see Broja stepping in after Romelu Lukaku's departure for Inter Milan.

"I think Chelsea are going to be reluctant to spend scary money again considering what happened with the Romelu Lukaku signing," he told GGRecon.

"If it was up to me, then I'd give Armando Broja a chance rather than spending £80m on a replacement."

Broja does not turn 21 until September, but he had an impressive season on loan at Southampton last term, scoring nine goals in all competitions.
