‘They’ve scouted him extensively’… West Ham United are really keen on 22-year-old international striker

David Moyes’s West Ham United are interested in signing Armando Broja from Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea.

That is according to GiveMeSport journalist Paul Brown, who has reported whether Chelsea could sell the 22-year-old Albania international striker in the January transfer window.

So, what has been reported about Chelsea striker Armando Broja and West Ham United? Let’s take a look.

West Ham United linked with Chelsea striker Armando Broja

Well, according to journalist Paul Brown in GiveMeSport, West Ham United are interested in signing Armando Broja from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in the January transfer window.

Brown has reported that West Ham have extensively scouted Broja, a player Raheem Sterling rates highly.

The reporter has added that Chelsea could sell the 22-year-old, noting that the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners are looking to sign a new striker in the January transfer window.

Brown told : “West Ham certainly like Broja, they’ve scouted him extensively and enquired about him in the past. 

“He’s in an interesting position because he hasn’t been able to play too much this season.

“Nkunku is now also coming back and Chelsea are still in the market for a striker so those two things don’t make things look good for Broja’s future.

“I think there are a lot of players vulnerable at Chelsea and who they’d listen to offers for, because they know they’re going to have to bring some money in having spent so much money on signings already.”

My View: West Ham could be able to sign Broja

In my opinion, West Ham United could be able to do a deal with Chelsea for Armando Broja.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is not playing Broja much. The 22-year-old striker has made five starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season. The youngster has scored one goal in those games.

I do not think that Broja’s situation is going to change anytime soon. If West Ham made a good offer for the striker, then Chelsea could sell him in January.

The striker himself could find the prospect of joining West Ham appealing. After all, the Hammers are a big and established club in the Premier League and are based in London.
