West Ham United place Armando Broja high summer on target list – report
West Ham are lining up a move for Chelsea striker Armando Broja in the summer transfer window, according to reports by the Daily Mail.
David Moyes is said to be a big fan of the striker and has therefore been placed high on the Irons’ list of targets.
The Albanian has notched ten goals in all competitions whilst on loan for the Saints this season.
Broja is said to be a cheaper alternative for Darwin Nunez who will cost around £50million if the Hammers were to bring the Benfica striker to the London Stadium.
Blues manager Thomas Tuchel will make the final call on whether the 20-year-old is allowed to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Talent.
Broja looks to be a great player for the future.
The forward has had such an impressive season with Southampton showing all the signs of a great striker already at such a young age.
He is a relentless striker who has shown he has more than just an eye for goal this season with brilliant all-round displays at St. Mary’s.
It was crucial that West Ham went in for a striker this summer and these reports will be music to Hammers fans’ ears.
Whether he would be up to the task of performing consistently in Moyes’ side is largely unknown, but he would likely come in as a back-up for Michail Antonio – initially.
The Jamaica international was been tasked with Irons’ attack by himself all season long which has hindered their season massively.
If Moyes had a few more options in heavily deprived areas of the squad – striker being the main one – the Hammers might have been able to win a trophy this season.
The links to players will continue to flood in ahead of the transfer window but the most important thing is that the east Londoners get the deals over the line ahead of the next season.
