Broja featured in just 10 league games at Everton last season as injuries limited his impact.
He suffered an Achilles tendon problem that kept him out for 95 days.
Then when he returned, he had an ankle injury that sidelined him for another 58 days.
By the time he was fit to play again the season was almost over and other players had already established themselves in the team.

The London-born Albanian striker's contract at Chelsea runs until 2028 with a club extension option inserted but SunSport understands the player desires a permanent move.
Chelsea are willing to do business and a fee in the region of £20million could see them agree to a total sale for a player who came through the Chelsea academy.

When I'm not here I'll get the credit from Spurs fans
Levy has long been the target of ire from fans who point towards a dearth of silverware under his direction, as well as failure to build upon Premier League title challenges in 2016 and 2017 and the team's run to the 2019 Champions League final. Last season's 17th-place finish – a record low in the Premier League era – was partly offset by victory in the Europa League final which saw the club lift its first trophy since 2008. Former head coach Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked days after the win over Manchester United in Bilbao, dodged the worst of the anger directed from the stands as the team plummeted down the table, with supporters instead targeting the chairman for the club's apparent regression. 'I think it's one of those situations (in which) when I'm not here I'm sure I'll get the credit,' Levy told Gary Neville's The Overlap podcast. 'When you come here and look at this wonderful (stadium), and the fact that other clubs are now trying to copy what we're doing, that should be a sign that maybe we did do something bold, and something right.' Spurs moved in to their 60,000-capacity stadium, built on the former site of White Hart Lane, in 2019 and it quickly acquired a reputation as one of the best sports venues in Europe, regularly hosting NFL fixtures as well as large-scale music and other events. Yet frustration remains with the team's failure to mount a credible challenge for the Premier League and Champions League, though Levy admitted he was at a loss to explain the lack of success. Ange Postecoglou was sacked in June (Andrew Millington/PA) 'Nothing has changed in terms of our ambition,' said Levy. 'Having won the Europa League – thank you to Ange – you get a taste of it, but it's not enough. It's never been enough. 'We've been in 16 or 17 semi-finals, seven finals, and we haven't won enough. We know need to use that as a springboard to keep winning. We've won two trophies in the last 20-plus years. We've been so close, so many times. 'I can't really answer (why), because I'm not the one that picks the team, motivates the team.' Former Brentford boss Thomas Frank, who was appointed to replace Postecoglou in June, will take charge of his first competitive match when Spurs begin the new season at home to Burnley on August 16. He will do so without stalwart forward Son Heung-min, who has announced he will leave the club this summer and was given an emotional send-off in Sunday's friendly against Newcastle in his native South Korea.

Nice one, Sonny 🤍 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 3, 2025 After last season's dismal league campaign, Levy encouraged fans not to heap excessive expectation on their new boss. 'He gets the style of football we want to play,' he said. 'He understands that Rome wasn't built in a day. We haven't set him, 'You've got to win the league this year'. We just want to compete at the highest level. 'We will support him to the best of our ability. If you look at transfer fees, we've been in the top four spenders since the stadium opened, we've spent close to £700million net on new players.'

Daniel Levy on The Overlap podcast: ‘When I'm not here I'll get the credit from Spurs fans'
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has predicted he will only earn credit from the club's often-critical supporters once he has left his position. The assertion comes amid persistent fan discontent, largely stemming from a notable lack of silverware during his lengthy tenure. Supporters frequently cite the club's failure to capitalise on promising Premier League title challenges in 2016 and 2017, alongside their run to the 2019 Champions League final, as key grievances. Last season proved particularly challenging, with the club recording a record-low 17th-place finish in the Premier League era. However, this domestic disappointment was partially offset by a victory in the Europa League final, marking Tottenham's first trophy success since 2008. Despite the team's struggles, former head coach Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked days after the win over Manchester United in Bilbao, largely avoided the brunt of the fan anger. Instead, the chairman became the primary target of supporters' frustration over the club's perceived regression. 'I think it's one of those situations (in which) when I'm not here I'm sure I'll get the credit,' Levy told Gary Neville 's The Overlap podcast. 'When you come here and look at this wonderful (stadium), and the fact that other clubs are now trying to copy what we're doing, that should be a sign that maybe we did do something bold, and something right.'

'I liked the sound of Chelsea, so I picked them'
We know the relationship between a football fan and their club is a special one so, as we gear up for the new season, we asked you to share why you fell in love with Chelsea and some of your favourite moments supporting them. Sam: Wolves v Chelsea 1977. Chelsea were banned from away games towards the end of the season with no tickets for the game available to Chelsea fans. Me and my mate heard there were touts selling tickets in the Chelsea area so a day before the game we decided to try our luck to find if we could somehow get hold of some tickets. We bunked off school and made our way to Chelsea from Leyton in the remote hope of finding someone with match tickets. As luck would have it, we found a tout and got four tickets. As we were leaving, we were approached by a man claiming to be from the club and said they were looking for two ballboys for the Chelsea v QPR reserve game urgently and from thinking we were busted, we were taken to the dressing rooms to get tracksuited up. Relieved and excited at the same time, we kept the tracksuits as well. We drove to Wolverhampton with Wolves needing a point to go up as champions and us needing a point to go up as well to Division One. The game ended with a 1-1 scoreline so both teams got what they wanted - but my abiding memory of that day was seeing 10,000+ banned Chelsea fans in one massive stand in the ground. I'm sure that day the saying you can't ban a Chelsea fan was born. Send your pictures and stories here
