It goes without saying that Celtic will need to bring in a lot of players in the upcoming summer transfer window if they are to challenge for the Premiership title next season, especially with a number of first-team stars expected to leave the club. And striker could be an area where the Hoops need a lot of reinforcements.
With just a year left on his current deal, it looks like Odsonne Edouard is set to head for the Parkhead exit door in the summer with the likes of Leicester City, Arsenal, Brighton and Hove Albion, and several other clubs being linked with him.
Patryk Klimala has already left in order to join New York Red Bulls. Who knows what the future holds for Leigh Griffiths? And Albian Ajeti has not managed to convince that he can lead the line for the Hoops on a consistent basis.
It will be difficult to rebuild the squad this summer though, especially in the current financial situation. Thus, the club might have to rely on loan moves and one Chelsea player could be an interesting option.

Celtic should consider loan move for Armando Broja
Broja is a 19-year-old striker who spent this season on loan at Vitesse from Chelsea. This was his first ever season with regular senior level football and it is safe to say that he was impressive.
According to stats from Transfermarkt, the youngster scored 11 goals and provided 3 assists in 34 appearances across all competitions for the Dutch side as they finished fourth in the Eredivisie and runners-up in the KNVB Cup.
Broja is somebody who has a lot of potential and has been touted by many as a future first-team star for Chelsea. At this point of time though, it hard to see him breaking into Thomas Tuchel’s side and it is very possible that he will spend the upcoming season out on loan as well.
If the opportunity was there to sign him on a season-long loan, the Hoops should definitely consider it. He has all the attributes to succeed in the Scottish game and could prove to be a very shrewd loan signing.
