The 20-year-old Chelsea hitman has long been the number one striker target for West Ham manager David Moyes and the East London outfit are desperate to get a permanent deal over the line for him.

Broja would be an incredible addition for the Hammers.

The problem for us is that signing him on a permanent deal for Chelsea may well prove to be tricky. Having said that, it appears as though Moyes is inching ever closer to getting his man…

West Ham in advanced talks to sign Armando Broja

The Hammers have beaten Newcastle and Everton in the race to sign the 20-year-old Chelsea striker according to a report from iNews.

And it is claimed that West Ham are at an advanced stage regarding talks with Chelsea about signing the Albanian ace this summer.

Let’s hope that the Hammers just get this one done quickly.

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.

It’s easy to forget at times that the Albania international is just 20-years-old-old! It’s not often that someone of that age bags nine Premier League goals in a season.

He really does seem to be a very special talent.

And with West Ham said to be in advanced talks to sign Broja, it may well not be long before we see the striker in the famous Claret and Blue.

If the Hammers get a deal done for the Chelsea forward, we’ll be in great shape heading into the new season.
