West Ham now face another problem in the race to sign Chelsea striker Armando Broja with Napoli allegedly throwing their hat into the ring.

Italian publication Il Mattino claims that Napoli could be in a strong position to sign the 20-year-old due to the fact that they can offer Chelsea Kalidou Koulibaly as part of the deal.

West Ham boss David Moyes is desperate to bring Broja to the London Stadium from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

However, the news that the Albanian has joined the Blues squad for their pre-season tour of the United States was an undoubted blow for the Hammers.

Moyes should be doing everything in his power to bring the 20-year-old striker to the club

It appears as though Chelsea are playing hardball though.

And now, Napoli’s interest in signing Broja could be devastating for us.

Il Mattino claim that Napoli are ready to offer Chelsea Kalidou Koulibaly in order to tempt them to send Armando Broja in the opposite direction.

And you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know that that’s bad news for the Hammers.

Broja would be absolutely perfect for us so missing out on the striker would be a massive blow for West Ham.

He has been described as an ‘exceptional’ striker by The Athletic. Meanwhile, One Football label him as ‘lethal’. 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, 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.

If Chelsea decide to sell the Albanian striker this summer, they could demand around £30 million (Sky Sports).

Armando Broja joining the Chelsea pre-season trip to America is undoubtedly a big blow for the Hammers.

But Napoli joining West Ham in the race to sign Broja could be an even bigger one.
