West Ham United want to complete Armando Broja deal this week, reps push deal forward
West Ham United are hoping to complete a deal to sign Chelsea forward Armando Broja as early as this week, according to The Mirror.
The newspaper has reported in its print edition [19 July, pg. 57] that the two clubs remain locked in talks as things stand with personal terms already agreed.
It is said that a £30million offer remains on the table as Broja jetted back into England as Chelsea continued their pre-season tour of the United States.
The Daily Mail has also backed up these reports in their print edition today [19 July. pg. 73] with a further update as the representatives start to get involved.
“Chelsea’s preference was to send Broja out on loan again but the player and his representatives want regular football following his successful spell on loan at Southampton,” Simon Jones wrote.
“Chelsea has discussed a potential sell-on clause or buy-back option.”
Get it done.
Broja and West Ham are both in the same boat and clearly want this deal to be completed.
Chelsea are holding this up for no apparent reason, they have a player on their hands that has made it clear that he doesn’t want to be there and a willing party with money on the table.
Is £30million a poor offer? No way.
Broja has completed one good season in the Premier League and he deserves the chance to find a real home, rather than somewhere that will spend huge money each summer on a new attacker.
Thomas Tuchel doesn’t have a spot for the Albanian talisman, and David Moyes is the man to really catapult his career forward at the London Stadium.
If this is completed this week, it will be perfect.
West Ham United will then get the chance to get their new man settled before that huge season opener against Manchester City which is nearly two weeks away.
