David Moyes’s West Ham United could reportedly make a move to sign Armando Broja from Chelsea to replace Gianluca Scamacca.
According to The Guardian, West Ham United are interested in signing Armando Broja from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
The report has claimed that West Ham “could move” for the Albania international striker now.
Gianluca Scamacca is leaving the Hammers for Atalanta this summer.
The Guardian has reported that Serie A club Atalanta will pay West Ham €30m (£26m) in transfer fees for the Italy international striker.
Chelsea striker Armando Broja would be a good signing for West Ham United
In our opinion, Chelsea striker Armando Broja would be a good signing for West Ham United, not just for now, but for years to come.
Broja is a very young striker who is just starting his career and has huge potential.
The 21-year-old was described as “a really, really exciting talent” by former Manchester United defender and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville on Sky Sports Premier League in February 2022.
Broja suffered a long-term injury last season and was able to make only two starts and 10 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea.
The Albania international striker scored one goal in those games.
During his loan spell at Southampton in 2021-22, Broja scored six goals in 21 Premier League starts.
While there will be some concerns as to how Broja wolud come back from his long-term injury, West Ham manager David Moyes could afford to ease him into his team next season.
Michael Antonio is still at the Hammers, and perhaps in the opening weeks of the new season, he could start while Broja could come on as a substitute to slowly start to build up match fitness and get into his rhythm.
Meanwhile, The Guardian has reported that West Ham need to pay between £35m and £40m to sign Edson Alvarez.
The Hammers have made a bid of £30m for the Ajax midfielder.
