Chelsea star Armando Broja at centre of Premier League transfer battle with clubs lining up to sign striker

ARMANDO BROJA is reportedly at the centre of a transfer batter between at least three Premier League clubs.

The Chelsea striker has struggled for minutes this season and failed to make a meaningful impact under Mauricio Pochettino.

Broja, 22, has only scored two goals in his 17 appearances this season with one coming in the Premier League and the other in the FA Cup.

The Albanian has mostly been used off the bench by Pochettino which has led to him only playing for 24 per cent of available minutes this season.

The Athletic have claimed that the striker could now leave Stamford Bridge on a permanent deal.

The report suggests that Chelsea are not desperate to sign a replacement for Broja as Christopher Nkunku is expected back from injury soon.

West Ham, Wolves and Fulham are among the Premier League clubs that are interested in signing the striker.

Hammers manager David Moyes has already admitted that he would like at least one new face through the door this month.

The Scotsman has seen his attacking options diminish recently with injuries to Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta.

While Mohammed Kudus is away at Afcon with Ghana and Said Benrahma picked up a three-match suspension in the FA Cup defeat to Bristol City.

Benrahama has also been linked with an exit from the London Stadium this month as the club has rejected a loan bid from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille.

Wolves are also short of attacking options and have relied on Matheus Cunha playing up front with Sead Kalajdzic leaving on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Broja could give manager Gray O’Neil a more traditional vocal point in his attack and allow Cunha to play in his preferred position on the wing.

The Albanian excelled when he had regular game time during a loan spell at Southampton for the 2021/22 season.

The striker bagged nine goals in 38 appearances for the Saints.

Meanwhile, Chelsea transfer target Victor Osimhen has recently revealed that he will make the move to the Premier League “one day”.
