Arsenal’s ambitious chase for Armando Broja looks to have been complicated after Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund joined the race for his signature.
That’s according to The Express, who claim that Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have joined the battle.
Football London reported that Arsenal were showing an interest in Broja ahead of an audacious summer move for the Chelsea man.
Broja is allegedly open to leaving Chelsea this summer, but Arsenal won’t have anything close to a free run.
It’s now suggested that Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are eyeing up Broja for a big move to Germany.
Bayern want a young striker to mould as Robert Lewandowski’s heir whilst Dortmund need strikers in mind with Erling Haaland likely to move on.
Broja could fit for either club, with the 20-year-old striker having plenty of suitors if he chooses to leave Chelsea.
Broja has hit eight goals in 24 games on loan at Southampton this season and has been shining under Ralph Hasenhuttl.
The Albanian international was so good against Manchester United at the weekend that Martin Keown praised him for ‘bullying’ Harry Maguire.
Just as likely to fight you as he is to outpace you, Broja has been a complete nuisance to Premier League defenders this season.
Arsenal are desperate for a new striker with both Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette out of contract this summer.
Broja is a bold target given that Chelsea surely wouldn’t be interested in selling a hot prospect to their bitter London rivals.
With two German giants now in the race too, Arsenal chances of bringing Broja to the Emirates Stadium seem to be getting slimmer and slimmer.
Chelsea may even choose to keep Broja anyway, as he has shown immense potential during his time with Southampton.
