Armando has had clubs from all over England and even branching out further in Europe keeping tabs on him even during his youth days were he played for two of England’s greatest clubs, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Last season, Armando spent half of the season with Chelsea before being extradited to the other side of West London, Fulham on loan, where he would get just 8 appearances in his time at Craven Cottage.

Broja is no stranger to international football, previously making 21 appearances for the senior team, truly blossoming whilst representing his country, Albania getting 3 Goals and 2 Assists in 3 games during World Cup qualification, impressing the higher ups in Albania FA, getting him many more appearances and making him a stable in the Albania mens national team and if fed through with the correct treatment could be one of the most unexpected performers in the tournament.

Armando has experience in one of their upcoming competitors in Matchday One, Italy. Armando put up a strong and appealing performance against the side who won the previous European Championship, although they fell to defeat, this is a rejuvenated Albania side, who have been labelled by many broadcasters as they “Outcasts” of Group B being placed in one of the hardest possible groups, but can former Manchester City player, Sylvinho at the helm lead Albania to one of the greatest stories in Euros history in just their second ever Euros tournament, last being in 2016 in France where they ended third.
