West Ham United have been handed a huge boost with the news that Chelsea are willing to sell Armando Broja in an effort to help fund a blockbuster move to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
TEAMtalk reckon that Chelsea are going all out to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli and as a result, Mauricio Pochettino will sell West Ham target Armando Broja to make space for the Nigerian.
Hammers boss David Moyes is clearly a huge fan of the 22-year-old Blues hitman, and has chased him for quite some time now.
The Scot is clearly on the hunt for a new striker, after making it clear in recent weeks that Michail Antonio quite simply hasn’t been good enough.
Broja is absolutely perfect for West Ham and the way that we play, so if Chelsea do put him up for sale, it will be great news for us.
This one seems like it has real legs. 24-year-old striker Osimhen could cost as much as £150 million according to the Daily Mail. Chelsea are one of the few clubs who could afford that kind of fee.
And the Nigeria international is allegedly keen to join Chelsea (TEAMtalk). So the only variable will be convincing Broja to move to the London Stadium…
Chelsea leave Armando Broja door open for West Ham
TEAMtalk reckon that Pochettino is willing to let the Albania international leave Stamford Bridge, in order to clear the way for Osimhen.
It’s little wonder why Chelsea want to sign the 24-year-old striker – he’s one of the most prolific forwards in world football.
He has bagged 65 goals and 15 assists in 111 games for Napoli, and has racked up 20 goals in 27 international appearances for Nigeria (Transfermarkt).
Osimhen is strong, dominant aerially and has pace to burn – he would be the perfect fit for the Blues. And exactly the same can be said about Broja at the London Stadium.
The Chelsea striker is always willing to run the channels, is very strong when playing with his back to goal and is incredibly hard to dispossess. He is a pretty good finisher as well when presented with a goalscoring opportunity.
You could not build a striker who is more suited to Moyes’s system than the Albanian. And if Chelsea are really trying to sell Armando Broja, West Ham should be all over it.
Pochettino bringing Osimhen to Stamford Bridge certainly will help the Hammers in the race for Broja’s signature.
