Mauricio Pochettino has now claimed that one Chelsea man has the potential to become an amazing player.
He told The Guardian that he believes Armando Broja needs to be given time to show just how good he can be to Blues fans around the world.
It has not been an easy season for Broja so far as he looks to establish himself as a serious option for Chelsea up front.
He has just two goals to his name so far, with only one of those coming in the Premier League.
In this period of time where Nicolas Jackson has been repressing his country at the African Cup of Nations, he has failed to take a really good chance to thrive at Stamford Bridge.
Pochettino has now claimed though that patience is required in order to see the best out of the academy graduate.
Pochettino tips Broja to be ‘amazing’
He said: “The potential is massive. All the biggest strikers need time. When they are young, they need to find their own balance. But I believe that he has the potential to be an amazing striker.
“I always compare it to Harry Kane. He went on loan to Leyton Orient, Norwich and spent time finding his real balance. In our first six months he started to perform only in December and January and that’s when we started to see his real potential.
“Sometimes the players who are right here, they are so young, they believe they are king of the world. In a good way, without being arrogant, and then they realise through the period that is up and down, up and down.
“They start to realise that if we want to be a real team and compete for big things it is a process.”
Recent reports have claimed that Chelsea would be open to the sale of Broja if the right bid came in this month.
However, with the transfer window approaching its final few days, it looks as if he will be staying put for this season at least.
