Reports | West Ham looking to launch ÂŁ30 million bid for Chelsea striker Armando Broja
Armando Broja
|According to the Guardian, West Ham United are preparing to submit a ÂŁ30 million bid for Chelsea starlet Armando Broja this summer in order to reinforce their squad. The Hammers have already signed defender Nayef Aguerd and are now looking to compete with Southampton for Broja.
After a rather impressive loan spell at Vitesse where he netted 10 league goals, a lot was expected from Armando Broja when he joined Southampton on loan. However, the 20-year-old endured a lacklustre start to his time at St Mary’s but things quickly changed as he proceeded to find his footing within Ralph Hasenhuttl’s system. So much so, that Broja finished his first Premier League season with 6 goals, for a total of nine across all competitions.

It has seen the young striker heavily linked with a move away although that is despite reports indicating that Chelsea have big plans for the youth academy prospect. However, the Guardian has reported that West Ham United are planning on testing the Blues with a reported ÂŁ30 million bid for the 20-year-old this summer.Â
This could test the club as while Thomas Tuchel reportedly has plans for Broja, the club are also open to letting him leave for the right price. Furthermore, the Hammers’ aren’t the only side in the race as Newcastle United, Napoli and Arsenal alongside Southampton are all looking into a move for the youngster as well. The 20-year-old is reportedly keen on getting regular football and while that could happen at Chelsea, Broja is still open to leaving Stamford Bridge in order to get that.
