Italian league leaders AC Milan could reportedly make a move to try sign Chelsea’s Armando Broja this summer.

Broja, 20, is a talented Blues youngster that’s currently enjoying a great year during a season-long loan at Premier League rivals Southampton.

According to journalist Carlo Pelegatti on Radio Rossonera, Serie A giants Milan could try swoop for the Chelsea-owned striker once their ownership issues are resolved.

Apparently, the centre-forward’s currently valued at €70million (£58million).

Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud are two Milan players to make the move from Stamford Bridge to the San Siro in recent seasons, two deals that have both turned out great for each player.

Broja’s made just one first-team appearance for Chelsea since coming through the academy, but his current loan in the Premier League is creating a buzz around his name within the Blues fanbase.

The Albanian frontman has nine goals in 31 Southampton appearances so far this season in all competitions. Also, the youngster’s got such a huge presence in attack to help him bully defenders that are far more experienced.

Chelsea must hang on to Broja

Of course, a mammoth near-£60million price tag on Broja should be enough to put potential suitors off.

The Blues definitely need to keep him in their plans moving into next season because there is so much potential from the academy graduate.

He’s looked a natural for the English game with his power, speed and aggressiveness.

There is definitely a lot he could add to Thomas Tuchel’s current squad, and he would improve so much training alongside the Chelsea first team.
