West Ham United: Everton could make bid for Chelsea striker Armando Broja
Everton “could bid” for West Ham United target Armando Broja as the Hammers close in on a move for the Chelsea striker according to The Guardian.
The Guardian revealed on Monday 18 July that West Ham have submitted an improved offer for the 20-year-old striker as they near an agreement with Chelsea.
However, the newspaper’s Jacob Steinberg suggested on Tuesday 19 July that Everton could also submit an offer for the attacker as Frank Lampard looks to utilise his links to his former club.
Get it done
It’s time for the Hammers to show some muscle and match any potential offer for the 20-year-old Chelsea striker.
The Irons are far more advanced in their negotiations with the Albanian and should be looking to finalise a deal in the coming days to prevent any last-minute interest from impacting their move for Broja.
Everton are unlikely to move fast in the transfer window considering the business, or lack of, that they have undergone so far this summer.
A team such as Newcastle could be potential competition, with the Magpies’ financial strength potentially proving a threat to West Ham’s move.
West Ham fans are eager for more competition for Michail Antionio and Broja looks to be the perfect striker to come through the door at the London Stadium.
The Chelsea youngster will be able to make a short-term and long-term impact at the London Stadium with the forward already experienced in the Premier League.
If Jesse Lingard and a new left-back can follow Broja to the London Stadium then Hammers fans can really begin to get excited about the upcoming Premier League season.
