Premier League Rivals Threaten Wolves’ Armando Broja Transfer
Wolves’ pursuit of Chelsea striker Armando Broja is reportedly under threat as Fulham aims to hijack the deal. The 22-year-old Albanian has struggled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge this season, making only 13 appearances and scoring once in the league. Despite this, clubs like Wolves and Aston Villa have shown interest in signing him.
According to The Telegraph, Fulham’s new manager Marco Silva has made Broja his “preferred choice” for the club before the transfer window closes. Silva hopes that Broja can fill the void left by Aleksandar Mitrovic, who moved to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia during the summer window.
Chelsea is said to be demanding £50 million for Broja and has already rejected a bid from Wolves. The West London side is open to selling the striker to ease any Financial Fair Play concerns they may have. However, it remains to be seen if Fulham is willing to meet Chelsea’s asking price.
Broja showcased his potential during a loan spell at Southampton in the 2021/22 season. With regular game time, he managed to score nine goals in 38 appearances for the Saints. This impressive performance has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs.
In addition to Broja, Chelsea’s academy product Trevoh Chalobah could also be on the move. The defender has been linked with potential transfers to West Ham, Nottingham Forest, and LaLiga giants Atletico Madrid. It seems that Chelsea is considering cashing in on their academy talents in order to fund other transfers or address their squad depth.
Meanwhile, another player linked with a move to the Premier League is Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker, who is a target for Chelsea, recently revealed his desire to play in the English top-flight “one day.” This statement has sparked speculation about a potential future transfer for Osimhen.
As the January transfer window continues, football fans eagerly await further developments and potential deals. It remains to be seen whether Wolves can secure the signing of Armando Broja despite the interest from Fulham. Chelsea’s decision to potentially sell their academy talents could have a significant impact on their squad dynamics and transfer plans.
The Premier League never fails to provide excitement and surprises, both on and off the pitch. Stay tuned for more transfer news as clubs look to strengthen their squads and make the most of the opportunities presented in the January transfer window.
