Tuchel finally ‘wants’ £30m star at Stamford Bridge
This summer, Chelsea striker Broja has been rumoured to leaving Chelsea. West Ham has made a £30 million offer for the 20-year-old.
Apparently, Chelsea has determined that Broja won’t be leaving the team any longer.
Chelsea won’t be selling Broja this summer, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
The teenage striker demonstrated last season while on loan with Southampton that he is developing into a top scorer, therefore Chelsea would benefit greatly from this trade given the Blues have yet to recruit a striker.
Romano said: “Chelsea, still not accepting any official bid for Armando Broja as of now. Tuchel insists in keeping the player, not happy with potential permanent transfer – after West Ham’s £30m proposal rejected 10 days ago.
“More talks on Chelsea side will take place soon.”
However, Former Chelsea right-back Glen Johnson has told Chelsea that it’s time to give Armando Broja a chance, rather than going for another big money signing.
Glen Johnson said: “I think Chelsea are going to be reluctant to spend scary money again considering what happened with the Romelu Lukaku signing.
“If it was up to me, then I’d give Armando Broja a chance rather than spending £80 million on a replacement.
“I’d rather get it wrong with a player that I’ve already got, rather than get it wrong by spending £80 million.
“Broja is technically good in front of goal, but I don’t know how good he is yet. He did score some fantastic goals for Southampton but, let’s face it, Southampton aren’t Chelsea.
“He’s going to get more goal scoring opportunities at Chelsea and he’s technically good enough to score more next season.”
