Chelsea striker Armando Broja is now open to leaving the club this summer amid links to the likes of Arsenal, Everton and West Ham United.

That’s according to The Express, who claim that Broja isn’t ruling out the prospect of leaving Chelsea at the end of the season.

Broja is currently on loan at Southampton and has been shining this season with eight goals in 24 games for the Saints whilst being called ‘dangerous’ by Ralph Hasenhuttl.

The Albanian is causing chaos for Premier League defenders. If you want to fight Broja, he’s more than equipped to be aggressive and battle you.

If you want to race Broja, he’s more than fast enough to take you on.

That’s the kind of striker defenders hate to play against, and Harry Maguire endured a miserable afternoon against Broja at the weekend.

Chelsea surely won’t sell easily, but there is now an ever-lengthening queue for Broja’s signature ahead of the summer window.

Football London claim Arsenal are keen to bring Broja to North London as Mikel Arteta desperately seeks a new striker this summer.

We very much doubt that Chelsea would be willing to sell Broja to rivals Arsenal, even if the striker is open to such a move himself.

The Daily Mail have noted that West Ham are keen whilst Dean Jones believes Frank Lampard will want him at Everton too.

There will be more and more clubs keen to sign Broja permanently if he continues to shine for Southampton, leaving Chelsea with a decision to make.

The Blues will need to show Broja a clear pathway to first-team action if he is to stay put, and that’s difficult at Chelsea.

Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner are already at the club whilst Erling Haaland continues to be linked.

Broja is too good to be sat on the bench, and he may well fancy moving on this summer amid links to Arsenal, Everton and West Ham.
