Arsenal target Broja matches rare Saka achievement on Wednesday
Arsenal transfer target Armando Broja further highlighted his potential on Wednesday night as he joined Bukayo Saka and only one other Premier League player in bringing up an impressive achievement.
Mikel Arteta is reportedly a huge fan of Broja. The Albania international has enjoyed a real breakout year out on loan with Southampton.
Newcastle reportedly made a bid for the 20-year-old in January. And reports subsequently claimed that Arsenal are eyeing a bid for Broja in the summer as the Gunners look to bolster their striker options this summer.
He has been amazing for Southampton. And it was his goal that confirmed their spot in the last eight of the FA Cup on Wednesday. It was a moment of real composure from the Chelsea loanee as he danced into the penalty area before sliding the ball into the bottom corner.
Saka joins two Gunners targets in exclusive club
It was also a goal that saw Broja join a very exclusive club this season. He has now been directly involved in 10 goals in all competitions, with nine goals and one assist.
And, as it turns out, that is something that only two other Premier League players under the age of 21 have achieved this term.
Interestingly, the others are Saka and Michael Olise…
10 – Armando Broja is one of only three Premier League players aged under 21 to have been directly involved in 10+ goals across all competitions this season (nine goals, one assist), along with Bukayo Saka and Michael Olise. Promise.

Obviously, Saka is the jewel in the crown at Arsenal. And it will come as absolutely no surprise to see him on a list concerning the best youngsters in the Premier League.
But Olise is another interesting name. Like Broja, the Crystal Palace starlet is also wanted by Arsenal.
Signing Broja or Olise would be a brilliant move from Arsenal this summer
Arsenal’s transfer policy has improved dramatically over the last 12 months. Last summer, they signed a raft of players a couple of years away from their peaks.
Together, that squad will grow. They are already in top-four contention this season. So it is encouraging that they are continuing to look at those who boast incredibly high ceilings.
Broja has been a revelation this year, while Olise has lived up to expectations since his move to Selhurst Park.
If they could sign either, it would be a fantastic piece of business from Arsenal.
