Premier League club pushing to sign 22-year-old Chelsea player, could make very late bid to get him

Reports have claimed that one Premier League club are pushing to complete a deal to sign one Chelsea player in the final week of the transfer window.

According to Simon Phillips’ Substack Live Blog, local rivals Fulham are interested in signing Armando Broja, with them potentially about to make a last-minute move to sign him this month.

Broja has been the subject of interest particularly from Premier League clubs in the last few weeks, after it became clear that the Blues were open to selling him this month.

This is despite the academy graduate being one of just two recognised first team options to play up front at the club right now.

The other one, Nicolas Jackson, is currently not even available for selection as he represents his country at the African Cup of Nations.

While the move would come as a surprise as far as reinforcements go, it has to be said that the 22-year-old has not set the world alight in the opportunities he has had so far.

Fulham pushing for Broja

He has just two goals to his name this season, with one of them coming in the FA Cup against Preston North End.

While a number of mid-table sides in England have been intrigued by a deal, it seems as if his position at the club could be the one with the biggest story surrounding it in the final week of the transfer window.

Now, it has been claimed that a bid could come in in the final few days from Fulham to sign Broja.

The West Londoners certainly need an upgrade up front, and it feels like a regular run in a team would do him the world of good.

This perhaps looks unlikely at Stamford Bridge, with Christopher Nkunku now back in training and Jackson being the clear favourite when he is available.
