Fulham are unlikely to make Armando Broja’s loan permanent at the end of the season, according to the Daily Telegraph’s Mark McGrath.

The Chelsea striker has yet to start a game for the Whites since making the deadline day loan switch from the Blues to Craven Cottage after Rodrigo Muniz’s remarkable run of the form that has seen the Brazilian striker score seven goals in as many Premier League matches since the start of February.

Broja has had to settle for limited appearances off the bench, but has yet to spend longer on the pitch that the sixteen minutes he managed on debut at Burnley, when the Clarets completed a dramatic comeback from 2-0 down to draw 2-2. The Albanian international featured twice for his country during the recent international duty, but was left out of Marco Silva’s squad entirely as Fulham beat Tottenham Hotspur before the pause in the Premier League programme.

It remains to be seen whether Broja, initially valued at £50m by Chelsea in the summer, will be involved as Fulham prepare for Saturday;s trip to Sheffield United.
