According to Ora News, Armando Broja now wants to leave Chelsea, with Newcastle, West Ham and Everton interested.
What’s the story?
Well, Thomas Tuchel has supposedly decided to leave the Albania international out of Chelsea’s pre-season trip to the United States, which has angered the striker.
Now, Broja – who the Blues value at £30m – is keen to leave Stamford Bridge, after being told he will not be given the chance to make an impact in the US.
Ora News claim that Tuchel believes the 20-year-old will be able to prepare himself better if he stays in London, although the forward does not agree, and wants a final answer from Chelsea about his future before the end of the week.
It comes after some sources stated that Newcastle are confident of securing a deal for Broja, whereas Everton have also made an approach for the Slough-born striker.
West Ham are also interested in bringing Broja to east London.
Interest in the Chelsea prospect comes after he scored nine goals in 38 appearances during a season-long loan at Southampton last term, where he impressed hugely.
Newcastle, West Ham & Everton must get bidding
In our view, now is the time to turn Broja’s head, if Ora News are telling the truth.
Being left out of the pre-season trip, after such a strong season with the Saints, will surely hurt Broja, so he may be tempted to ditch the Blues if Eddie Howe, David Moyes or Frank Lampard make a convincing pitch in the coming days.
If there are any delays from the Magpies, Hammers or the Toffees, it gives the promising striker a chance to patch things up with Tuchel, which will then make it even more difficult to sign him.
With tensions currently high between the German and Broja, those who want to sign him must act now.
