Chelsea have reportedly made a decision on Armando Broja's future amid Ivan Toney & Victor Osimhen transfer interest.
- Chelsea want to keep Broja
- Turned down Fulham's approaches
- Remain keen to sign either Osimhen or Toney
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Standard, the Blues have opted to reject Fulham's pursuit of striker Armando Broja in the upcoming January transfer window. Despite Fulham's interest in securing a replacement for Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has moved to Al-Hilal, Chelsea are determined to retain the 22-year-old. He made a significant impact for Chelsea by winning a crucial penalty in a recent 4-4 draw with Manchester City and is ready to force himself into Mauricio Pochettino's plans after coming back from a lengthy injury layoff.
WHAT ARMANDO BROJA SAID ABOUT HIS FUTURE
Despite interest from AC Milan and West Ham, Broja remains committed to proving himself at Stamford Bridge. The striker is ready to fight for a place in the starting XI and in an interview with the Secret Scout YouTube channel he said: "A lot of players would get frustrated with a lack of minutes, but for me, I know I've come back from a big injury. I need to prove myself again to the manager, staff, club, and fans. I'm blessed to be in the position I'm in.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
However, Fulham remain keen to add more firepower to their ranks and are monitoring Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy and Wolfsburg's Jonas Wind as alternatives to Broja. Both Raul Jimenez and Carlos Vinicius are going through a rough patch and the Cottagers are actively pursuing a striker who could solve their goal-scoring woes.
WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
Chelsea remain focused on signing Napoli's Victor Osimhen but they are well aware that the Nigerian striker will not be available until the summer and that potential acquisition will cost them north of £100m (€115m/$126m). Hence, they are also monitoring Brentford's Ivan Toney who could be available for around £80m (€92m/$100m).
