West Ham United are considering going back in for Chelsea striker Armando Broja in the summer.
According to The Times, Chelsea hitman Armando Broja is back on the radar of West Ham ahead of the summer transfer window.

Hammers boss David Moyes signed Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo instead, but the Italian has struggled to establish himself at the London Stadium.
And it seems as though the Scot could be set to go back in for the Albania international…
Report makes Armando Broja claim that is terrible news for Gianluca Scamacca at West Ham
The Times reckon that the 21-year-old hitman is once again on the Hammers’ radar.
He is expected to return for pre-season training, but perhaps that will be at Rush Green rather than Cobham.
Chelsea apparently want around £40 million for Broja. Before his injury, that would have represented great value for West Ham.
However, there will be doubts about his long-term fitness now, and with Chelsea desperate to offload some players this summer, maybe the Hammers could pick the young forward up for slightly less than that reported fee.
If Broja is able to maintain long-term fitness, he would be a superb addition for us – he has absolutely everything that Moyes looks for in a striker.
He has been described as an ‘exceptional’ striker by The Athletic. Meanwhile, 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 in the 2021/22 season (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.
Armando Broja was sensational against West Ham when he played against us three times for Southampton in the 2021/22 campaign.
Moyes knows what the Chelsea ace is all about, and I wouldn’t be surprised one little bit if the Scot brings him to the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.
