Armando Broja is set for showdown talks with Thomas Tuchel as he looks to thrash out his future at Chelsea amid Everton interest. The Daily Mail reported on Monday that both the Blues and West Ham United have formally registered their interest in the £30million prospect.
The 20-year-old, who has been with the Stamford Bridge outfit for over a decade, has spent the last two seasons out on loan, netting 11 goals in 34 games for Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem in 2020/21 and nine in 38 matches for Southampton last term. Capable of playing as a centre-forward or out on the wing, 6ft 3in Broja offers the kind of versatility up front to fill the void left after Richarlison’s £60million move to Tottenham Hotspur.
