Armando Broja played for the Everton U21s against Watford on Monday night as he steps up his fitness, and an analyst has shared what his performance was like.
Everton are calling out for some reinforcements at the pinnacle of the attack at this moment in time, having failed to score in their last three games.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has only scored two goals in 12 games this season, yet Sean Dyche has continued to persist with him up front.
Armando Broja has returned to training but isn’t match ready for the first team, as Dyche sensibly allows time for him to get back up to speed after a long period out.
Interestingly, Broja featured for the Under-21s against Watford and an analyst who was at the game has shared how he played.

How Armando Broja performed for Everton U21s vs Watford
Armando Broja scored nine goals in 38 games for Southampton, which caught the attention of a number of clubs when he returned to Chelsea.
However, his last spell at Fulham just didn’t work out as he made eight appearances and ended up falling out of favour under Marco Silva.
Now, having signed for Everton on a season-long loan deal, he’s stepped up his fitness with an appearance for the Under-21 side against Watford after suffering an achilles injury in pre-season.
An analyst, Rookery Mike, was at the game, and he shared exactly how Broja played in his 45-minute display.
Another striker returns from injury for Everton
Youssef Chermiti has returned to training for Everton having not appeared since pre-season.
The striker impressed Sean Dyche in pre-season, but suffered a foot injury that required surgery.
It’s safe to say that Chermiti’s start to life at Goodison Park hasn’t gone too well, as he’s yet to open his account in 20 appearances.
Everton fans won’t be expecting massive things from the striker once he returns, but at least there will be four options available to Dyche up top, compared to the two he’s been stuck with.
Beto has been linked with an exit and hasn’t been fancied by Dyche, so he looks likely to leave.
