Chelsea Striker Attracts Attention
Fulham is reportedly looking to disrupt Wolves' plans to sign Armando Broja, the Chelsea striker who has garnered interest from several Premier League clubs this month. Despite struggling to establish himself at Stamford Bridge, the 22-year-old Albanian has caught the eye of clubs like Wolves and Aston Villa.
Marco Silva's Preferred Choice
According to The Telegraph, Fulham manager Marco Silva has identified Broja as his "preferred choice" to reinforce his squad before the transfer window closes. Silva hopes that the young striker can fill the void left by Aleksandar Mitrovic, who departed for Al-Hilal in the summer.
Potential Transfer Fee
Chelsea is reportedly demanding £50 million for Broja and has already turned down an offer from Wolves. The West London club is open to selling him to alleviate any Financial Fair Play concerns.
Impressive Loan Spell
Broja showcased his potential during a loan spell at Southampton last season, where he scored nine goals in 38 appearances for the Saints.
