4) Given that there is set to be tough competition ahead of him at Chelsea, does Broja have a first-team future at Stamford Bridge? Do Chelsea fans like what they see from him right now?

"Gabe: “Chelsea fans and Thomas Tuchel absolutely love what they’re seeing from Broja right now. He was one of the bright spots of the preseason, scoring a few goals and making the most of his minutes. Broja’s long-term future at Chelsea will be determined in a sense by this loan. It’ll probably be a few years until he gets a real look at the first team with the recent acquisition of Romelu Lukaku (along with competition in Timo Werner and Kai Havertz). That being said, if the Blues sell Tammy Abraham like rumours suggest they will, that is music to Broja’s ears. Chelsea has a lot of competition and a plethora of promising players in its academy, so players like Broja need to make the most of their loans to succeed. There are high hopes around Cobham that he’ll be a hit though.”"
