Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the rumours revolving around Chelsea striker, Armando Broja. Fellow Premier League club, Fulham have sent an official bid to the Blues for the player in the hours building up to the transfer deadline.
Fulham Approach Chelsea With Formal Bid for Armando Broja
Chelsea Willing to Let Broja Go
Broja has been the subject of interest from multiple Premier League clubs in the ongoing transfer window. West Ham, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham are all vying to sign the player. According to a report from David Ornstein earlier in the transfer window, the Premier League giants are willing to listen to offers for the 22-year-old and willing to let him go if the offer is right.
They have already rejected an offer from Wolves recently.
According to Romano, Fulham are currently leading the race to land the player before the transfer window shuts. They have made an official approach with an offer to bring the forward to Craven Cottage. The offer is for a loan deal for Broja with an option to buy when the loan spell culminates.
It is important to note that there is no obligation to buy, only an option for Fulham to trigger the buy clause.
Forward’s Time at Chelsea So Far
The Albanian has not had the best of times at his childhood club. His journey has been promising at times and disappointing at others. The former Tottenham man has had stints at Dutch side Vitesse and English club Southampton. He has struggled to find the back of the net consistently in any of his stints.
The “very talented” striker has also faced injury issues in his short career so far which have hindered his progress. A permanent move away from the expectations and limelight could potentially help Broja bring his career on the right track.
