Chelsea striker Armando Broja could be sold before the transfer window closes tonight.

Fulham are likely to make a bid worth around £30m for Armando Broja, according to the Daily Mail.

However, the same outlet claims that Chelsea value the 22-year-old at £50m, so it will be interesting to see if they accept the Cottagers’ offer.

With Nicolas Jackson unable to make it back in time for the Blues’ 4-1 loss against Liverpool yesterday, Broja was the only recognised centre-forward in Mauricio Pochettino‘s squad.

Despite that, the Albania international was left on the bench and did not even come on despite Chelsea needing goals after going 3-0 down.

Chelsea should not accept Fulham’s £30m bid for Armando Broja

If Fulham do go on to make a £30m offer for Broja as expected, Chelsea have to rebuff it. They are not in a position where they can afford to sell him.

As mentioned earlier, Broja and Jackson are the only two strikers at Stamford Bridge. Allowing the former to go would leave them extremely light in that position and there is little time to replace him.

Christopher Nkunku can, of course, also play there. And the Frenchman showed just how good of a finisher he is with his goal against Liverpool last night.

However, he has struggled to stay fit this season, so it would be a bit of a risk to rely on just him and Jackson for the rest of the campaign. Nevertheless, it seems that Chelsea are prepared to sell Broja before the transfer deadline.
