West Ham United are reportedly eyeing up a summer move to sign Armando Broja in the summer transfer window.

According to TEAMtalk, Armando Broja wants to leave Chelsea, and West Ham could sign him this summer.

Hammers boss David Moyes clearly needs to bolster his centre-forward ranks at the London Stadium this summer, with Gianluca Scamacca, Danny Ings and Michail Antonio all facing uncertain futures with the club.

And it seems as though the Scot could be set to make a move for someone who suits his playing style perfectly…

TEAMtalk reckon that the Hammers are lining up a summer transfer window move to sign the 21-year-old Chelsea centre-forward.

Broja suffered a serious ACL injury back in December, but he’s expected to be back and ready to go for the start of the new season, and I think he’d be a great addition to Moyes’s ranks.

He has been described as an ‘exceptional’ striker by The Athletic. Meanwhile, One Football label him as ‘lethal’. And Albania coach Sergio Porrini called him ‘devastating’.

Broja seems to be ideally suited to West Ham and considering the way in which he stretches the opposition with tireless runs into the channels, it’s easy to see why Moyes wants to sign him.

The Chelsea ace is strong in the air, brilliant when playing with his back to goal and bringing others into play, and is a very technically gifted player as well.

He really does seem to be a very special talent and could be available for around £35 million (The Daily Mail).

That seems like an absolute no-brainer to me, and if Moyes brings Armando Broja to West Ham for that kind of money this summer, it would be a great deal for the club, in spite of his recent injury.
