West Ham United are lining up a move to sign Armando Broja, with the striker reportedly unhappy at Chelsea.

According to a report from The Times, Armando Broja wants to leave Chelsea after the arrival of Nicolas Jackson, and West Ham could swoop in to sign hm in the summer transfer window.

The East London out have been heavily linked with the 21-year-old before, but a move to sign him in January was scuppered when the Albanian suffered an ACL injury in December.

Hammers boss David Moyes needs a new centre-forward this summer, with Michail Antonio being linked with a move away from the London Stadium.

And it seems as though Broja could be the man who the Scot brings in…

West Ham want to sign Armando Broja after development in his relationship with Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino

The forward is not happy that Poch has brought in another forward this summer and as a result, he could be looking to leave Stamford Bridge, with the Hammers monitoring his situation.

I think that Broja could be a super signing for West Ham, in spite of the fact that he suffered an ACL injury back in December.

He has been described as an ‘exceptional’ striker by The Athletic. Meanwhile, One Footballlabel 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.

He is incredibly strong as is equally as comfortable when playing with his back to goal as he is when running in behind the opposition’s defence.

West Ham signing Armando Broja from Chelsea this summer should be an absolute no-brainer for Moyes. And if the Blues don’t get silly with their demands for the striker, I believe this is a transfer that will happen.

The only concern I have about Broja is the ACL injury that he suffered back in December. Will he return as the same player he was before? Nobody knows that right now, so if Moyes signs him, it certainly won’t be without risk.
