Thelwell, Everton's top executive, optimistic about Broja's significant impact

The forward made a last-minute move to Goodison Park in the summer transfer window.

Broja is on loan at the club for a year, while they may have an option to extend his stay.

"Having monitored Armando's journey for a number of years, we're very pleased to have been able to bring him to the club," said Thelwell.

"Armando is still a young player who has already built up some impressive experience but someone we also feel has lots more potential to be unlocked.

"First and foremost, we will work with him to get him fit as soon as possible. Then, his addition will strengthen our options in the attacking department."
