SAINTS are in talks with Chelsea over a deal to sign striker Armando Broja on a loan deal, the Daily Echo understands.
The 19-year-old spent last season out on loan at Vitesse Arnhem in Holland, scoring 10 goals in 30 appearances.
He returned to London to feature with the Blues during pre-season, scoring for the European champions in a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in a friendly at Vitality Stadium last month.
But he now looks set for another spell away from Stamford Bridge, with his long-term future secured having penned a new five-year deal this summer.
