West Ham United have been handed a huge boost with the news that Armando Broja could ask to leave Chelsea.

That’s according to a report from The Guardian who claim that the Hammers have made a £30 million bid for the 20-year-old Chelsea hitman.

READ…Opinion: West Ham boss David Moyes has just made an absolutely crazy decision

The Chelsea striker allegedly wants to join West Ham this summer.

Hammers boss David Moyes is desperate to bring a top-class striker to the London Stadium this summer in order to provide more competition for Michail Antonio.

And Chelsea ace Armando Broja would be absolutely perfect for us.

There was bad news earlier this week for West Ham though when the Albania international jetted out to the United States to link up with the Blues squad on their pre-season tour.

It seems as though the Hammers have been handed some good news now though…

Armando Broja may ask to leave Chelsea

The Guardian reckon that the 20-year-old striker may ask Thomas Tuchel’s permission to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

And that may well help West Ham’s pursuit of the Albanian.

What a brilliant signing Broja would be for West Ham.

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 owned ace is strong, quick and is a really, really good finisher. Broja bagged nine goals and one assist in 36 games for Southampton last term (Transfermarkt).

It is his all around game that has been the most impressive thing about him though. The way in which he holds up the ball with his back to goal and brings others into play has been truly magnificent to watch.

The striker absolutely tore the Hammers apart last season, bagging one goal and one assist in three appearances against us. He gave our defenders nightmares and was a total menace to our back line during all three clashes.

Hopefully Armando Broja does ask to leave Chelsea. Because if he does, West Ham’s task of signing him will be made a whole lot easier.
