Armando Broja is open to joining West Ham United this summer amid claims that Leeds United want the Chelsea striker.

Broja, 20, spent last season on loan at Southampton after scoring 11 goals in 34 games for Vitesse Arnhem.

The Albanian international showed more promise last term, even if he only scored six times in 32 outings.

Broja is now heading back to Chelsea but it seems a little unlikely that he will land a regular first-team role.

That means Chelsea may loan or even sell Broja this summer and there are plenty of potential takers.

Reports on Tuesday night suggested that West Ham were in talks with Chelsea over a deal to purchase Broja in a deal worth up to £30million.

However, 90Min then claimed that Leeds United also want Broja, alongside Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

West Ham face a battle for Broja but it seems that the striker is somewhat interested in making the move.

The Express claim that Broja is open to joining West Ham and will listen to any offer from the Hammers.

The Hammers have Europa Conference League football to offer and will be pushing for the top six next season.

That has to be appealing to Broja, and must be a concern for Leeds, who narrowly avoided relegation last term.

Broja has plenty to think about now. Does he try his luck at Chelsea? Even Tammy Abraham had to leave the Blues in search of playing time.

Does he head to West Ham? Michail Antonio’s presence would likely mean that Broja would be in and out of the West Ham side.

Another loan move could appeal, which may well be Leeds’ best shot, but his most likely destination right now seems to be West Ham.
