West Ham United have now agreed personal terms with Chelsea forward Armando Broja, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The reliable journalist has reported that the Irons are closing in on their new striker with all parties edging towards the transfer being finalised on Monday.

West Ham are insisting for a permanent deal, and it looks as though they will not settle for a loan move first with an official offer now submitted for Chelsea to consider.

Writing on his personal Twitter account, Romano shared the major update as the Irons appear to be finally closing in on a new striker for the squad.

“West Ham are now close to signing Armando Broja,” he wrote.

“Talks progressing with Chelsea, West Ham insist for permanent deal after official offer submitted but it’s up to Chelsea

“Broja has agreed personal terms with West Ham – all parties are getting closer.”

Get it done.

This is the one we have all been waiting for.

Broja has finally agreed on personal terms, and that wouldn’t have been done without the nod from Chelsea who wouldn’t want their player talking to another club.

Now it just leaves it in the hands of each club, with an official offer on the table and a player seemingly waiting for the move to happen after agreeing on terms.

The striker did go to the United States of America with Chelsea on their pre-season tour, but he is already in the process of returning to England with this transfer top of the agenda.

Michail Antonio looks set to no longer be alone in the final third, and he finally has competition and depth alongside him that will no doubt catapult him to a new level too.

This is also set to likely bring to an end the interest in Sassuolo man Gianluca Scamacca, with David Moyes finally closing in on what has been his main target all summer.
