Chelsea striker Armando Broja has been linked with a move away from the club this month, with Fulham keen on signing him.
A report from The Sun has claimed that Fulham and Wolves are keen on signing Armando Broja. Chelsea are prepared to let the 22-year-old leave on loan as long as there is an obligation to buy him for a fee of around £35 million at the end of the season.
Armando Broja Reaching the End of the Line at Chelsea?
The Albanian international does not have a future at Stamford Bridge, and it makes sense for him to move on in search of regular playing time. He would get more opportunities at Fulham and Wolves. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career to continue his development and fulfil his potential.
Broja has scored just once in the league for Chelsea this season, and the Blues clearly need to bring in a better striker. They signed Nicolas Jackson to solve their goalscoring problems in the summer transfer window. But the former Villarreal striker has not been able to live up to the expectations either.
Chelsea are likely to invest in a top-class striker at the end of the season, and Broja will fall further down the pecking order. Recent reports have claimed that the 22-year-old might decide to move on this month.
Broja in Demand
Fulham need to bring in attacking reinforcements especially with the way Raul Jimenez has performed this season. The former Wolves striker has not been at his best, and the Londoners need to bring in more depth in that position.
Broja has previously shown his quality with regular football at Southampton, and he could develop into a quality player for Fulham with regular game time. Similarly, Wolves need more depth in the attack as well, and the 22-year-old could be a long term investment for them.
The Albanian international recently recovered from a long-term injury, and he needs regular game time to rebuild his form and confidence. An exit from Chelsea is the need of the hour, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually.
While the reported £35 million asking price could come across as a steep demand, the 22-year-old striker is quite young, and he has plenty of time to justify that investment in the coming seasons.
