Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are interested in signing former Tottenham Hotspur academy striker Armando Broja, who is on loan at Southampton from Chelsea at the moment, according to Football.London.

Football.London have reported that Arsenal are monitoring Broja ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Gunners will reportedly sign at least one new striker when the transfer window reports.

Interestingly, Broja is a former Tottenham academy player.

The striker was scouted by Tottenham when he was a kid and played for the Under-8s and Under-9s.

After two years, Broja moved to Chelsea.

Would Armando Broja make Arsenal better?

In our view, Broja would make Arsenal a better team, but we think that manager Mikel Arteta needs to sign another and more experienced striker,

Now, of course, Broja is doing well for Southampton this season, but he is only 20.

The Albania international striker joined Southampton on loan from Chelsea in the summer of 2021.

Broja has made 12 starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Saints so far this season.

The youngster has scored six goals in those games.

Broja has also scored two goals in two Carabao Cup ties for the Saints this campaign.

Chelsea may not want to sell Broja in the summer transfer window and could see him as a future star.

So, in our view, it may not be very easy for Arsenal to sign the Albania international.
