Chelsea starlets Broja and Colwill will not accept transfer offers until crisis-club’s future is resolved
Sponsored by
CHELSEA whizkids Armando Broja and Levi Colwill are waiting on the club’s future before they can have their own sorted out.
The Blues are currently in the midst of a takeover process as Roman Abramovich sells up.
They are unable to buy or sell players, or offer new contracts, while the sanctioned Russian oligarch remains at the helm.
Should new ownership be green lit, then those rules will be removed.
But until then there is the possibility that the Blues may have to rely on their existing squad, meaning there is a chance highly-rated Broja and Colwill will be involved.
That could be the case anyway after encouraging campaigns from both starlets.
