Real on the trail of a young Chelsea striker — Foot11.com

It is a young striker that Real Madrid seem to want to recruit from the side of the English championship. Indeed, Armando Broja is closely watched by the White House. More

Broja, a very discreet attacker

It must be recognized, Armando Broja is not necessarily well known to the general public. However, this barely 20-year-old center forward is under contract (until 2026) with Chelsea. But given his young age, the player has been on loan for the past two seasons. First at Vitesse Arnhem and then at Southampton for the 2021-2022 financial year. With the Saints, he played 38 games for 2,339 minutes spent on the pitch. He also scored 9 goals under Ralph Hasenhüttl.

Rather honorable statistics for such an inexperienced attacker. This summer, Broja logically returned to Chelsea where his future remains uncertain for the time being. Indeed, it was until now difficult to know if Thomas Tuchel is counting on him for the next few months. But what is certain is that the Albanian international (14 caps for 4 goals) is courted by several clubs.

An offer that cannot be refused?

At first, it was West Ham United who positioned themselves on the file. The Hammers would like to loan out Armando Broja for the 2022-2023 season. Unfortunately for them, Chelsea wouldn’t consider a new loan. Especially since Tuchel seems inclined to include the striker in the first team. It is true that the Blues are starting to run out of options at the front… But another more interesting offer could be put on the table by the great Real Madrid.

Because as we learn Evening Standard, the European champions are in turn interested in Broja. Keep in mind that this is only speculation for now. According to Nizaar Kinsella, Madrid have already made contact with the Blues. Moreover, other teams like Newcastle and Everton are reportedly looking into the deal. Good news for the young striker who should be spoiled for choice… remains to be seen if Chelsea are sellers.
