Hailed as ‘[dangerous](https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/59843062)‘ by Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl earlier this season, he also has great admirers from the likes of Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp, who recently lauded the Albanian’s ‘[incredible pace and strength](https://twitter.com/Blue_Footy/status/1526649241267064832)‘, while Magpies legend Alan Shearer thinks that the youngster has a ‘[bright future](https://www.teamtalk.com/arsenal/alan-shearer-praises-armando-broja-everton-links)‘.

Broja has already shown what he can do in the top flight, so he would be a smart buy from the Toon.
