Ligue 1 club AS Monaco are reportedly keen on signing 22-year-o,d Chelsea striker Armando Broja ahead of AC Milan this summer.
According to a report from French publication L’Equipe, AS Monaco face competition from AC Milan in the race to sign 22-year-old Chelsea striker Armando Broja. And the Ligue 1 giants are currently ahead of the Italian club in the race.
AS Monaco need to add more attacking depth to their side after parting ways with Wissam Ben Yedder. So, Broja could prove to be a quality acquisition. Recent reports have also linked the Chelsea prospect with several Premier League clubs.
The 22-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea, and he needs to leave the club to play regularly. Regular football in France or Italy could be crucial to his development, and the player is likely to be excited about the possibility of joining AS Monaco or AC Milan. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
The striker must seek game-time assurances before making the move in the summer. He has the ability to develop into a quality player and Chelsea could regret losing him in the future. Broja has previously shown his quality in the Premier League during his loan spell with Southampton, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to thrive in the English top flight, even though the move to Fulham has not worked out.
Armando Broja needs to leave Chelsea
A move away this summer will be crucial to his development. He should look to head out and regain his confidence and form with regular game time. If he manages to fulfil his potential, he will have plenty of opportunities to return to English football in the near future.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will look to get rid of the player as well. He is clearly not a key part of their plans going forward, and the Blues have their financial worries to deal with. Chelsea will have to comply with the financial regulations. So, they will look to sell players in order to balance the books. It is fair to assume that the 22-year-old will be one of the first names on the sale list.
It remains to be seen whether AS Monaco or AC Milan can secure an agreement with Chelsea in the coming weeks. Both clubs would represent an exciting destination for the young striker, and he will look to prove his worth with regular game time in France or Italy.
