Armando Broja has bid a fond farewell to Southampton after his loan spell from Chelsea came to an end, thanking the supporters and his ‘special’ team-mates.
Striker Broja, 20, scored nine goals in 38 games across all competitions for the south coast club, and will now return to his parent side ahead of an uncertain summer.
He was left out of the squad for the final day of the season in the heavy defeat at Leicester yesterday, meaning his last appearance came against Liverpool.
Armando Broja has posted a goodbye to Southampton on Instagram after his loan stint ended
Taking to Instagram, he said: ‘I just want to start off by saying what a great season for me and my family personally.
‘A season full of ups and downs but no matter what I had family and amazing people to help me get through it.
‘I also want to say a massive thank you to Southampton and the amazing fans for allowing me and having the belief in me to showcase what I can do.’
Broja added: ‘I appreciate all the support and love you showed me and the team.

‘Finally I want to say thank you so much to the players you guys taught me so much this year.
‘I loved every minute with you lads. It was honestly something special to me. You have not only become brothers to me but also family. I will miss you guys!’
His successful debut season in senior football in England saw him score six times in the Premier League, although he found the net just once after January.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Broja will head back to Stamford Bridge to take part in pre-season, where he will be scrutinised ahead of the new campaign.
A host of clubs are interested in him, including recently-crowned Serie A champions AC Milan
However, the young ace is reportedly attracting interest from a host of elite clubs.
Serie A champions AC Milan are monitoring him, according to Goal, alongside Inter Milan and Napoli. Newcastle and West Ham are also keen.
Southampton, meanwhile, have been linked with a return move for the frontman.
It is not clear how much Broja would cost were he to move on in the transfer window, although reports have handed him a £25million price tag.
