Everton are one club who are interested in signing Chelsea striker Armando Broja before the transfer market shuts.

Armando Broja‘s Chelsea career looks all but over after the 22-year-old was left out of the Blues’ matchday squad for their 2-1 friendly defeat against Real Madrid.

His future was already uncertain after being allowed to join Fulham on loan last season. Since then, Chelsea have signed Marc Guiu and are close to landing Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion.

Omorodion’s physicality has caught Enzo Maresca’s attention, and the 20-year-old now looks set to arrive at Stamford Bridge to provide competition to Nicolas Jackson.

Broja is now almost certain to leave west London, with a move to Goodison Park a possibility.

Armando Broja’s move to Everton could hinge on Dominic Calvert-Lewin

According to the Daily Mail, Broja is attracting interest from Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

However, a move to Sean Dyche’s side could depend on what happens with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with the Toffees potentially needing to sell him first.

The Daily Mail’s report states that the 27-year-old would likely have to leave Goodison Park in order for Broja to arrive.

Maresca will talk to Broja about his future, but the writing really does look to be on the wall for the Albania international.

Broja could cost £30m if he does end up leaving Chelsea this summer, claims one report from the Daily Express.

Would Armando Broja say yes to Everton?

Everton could be a good move for Broja. They are a Premier League club and he should get minutes there, especially if Calvert-Lewin does go on to depart Goodison Park.

Broja is a big striker as well, so he should suit a manager like Sean Dyche. He joined Fulham last season on loan, so it would not be a shock to see Broja sign for Everton this transfer window.

As for Chelsea, they are likely to start the new season with Omorodion and Nicolas Jackson as their two main strikers.

Napoli are pushing Victor Osimhen towards Chelsea, but a lot needs to happen if the Blues are to sign him before the transfer deadline.
