It has been just over a month since the transfer window closed, but one player who left Chelsea in the summer is still yet to make his debut for his new club.
However, the Chelsea loanee is hoping that changes in November. The Blues let several names leave the club on loan.
The likes of Raheem Sterling, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja have all left Chelsea temporarily.
Ugochukwu was recently criticised for his performance in Southampton’s 3-1 defeat against Bournemouth.
Armando Broja could make Everton debut next month
Everton signed Broja from Chelsea on a season-long loan deal, but the striker is yet to make an appearance for them.
Broja is currently out injured, but he has stepped up his recovery and is hoping to make his Everton debut next month, according to The Athletic.
The same outlet claims that Everton have the option to sign the 23-year-old permanently for £30m, so he could end up staying at Goodison Park if his loan spell there goes well.
Leicester City were also interested in Broja, but Everton proved to be his final destination.
Chelsea will sell Armando Broja
Even if Everton decide not to take up their option to sign Broja permanently, you would still expect the Albania international to leave Stamford Bridge for good at some point.
Enzo Maresca currently has Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku in his squad, while Chelsea could sign another forward in 2025.
Chelsea reportedly scouted Victor Boniface in the Champions League on Tuesday, so that could be one option for them.
All in all, Jackson and Nkunku are likely to be two centre-forward options for Maresca in 2025, as they are now, with another striker perhaps joining them. But that striker is unlikely to be Broja, who needs to move on from Chelsea permanently for the sake of his career.
Goodison Park could end up being his new permanent home, but only if this loan spell at Everton goes well.
