Napoli keeping tabs on Chelseaโ€™s Armando Broja

Napoli want to sign a striker this summer, irrespective of whether Andrea Petagna leaves the club. Chelseaโ€™s Armando Broja has numerous suitors in the summer transfer market.

A report from Il Mattino claims that Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is keeping a keen eye on Armando Brojaโ€™s situation at Chelsea.

The 20-year-old was on loan at Southampton last season. Despite scoring just six goals from 32 appearances in the Premier League, he caught the attention of various clubs with his all-around abilities.

His towering body structure helps him dominate the aerial game. A similar player to Victor Osimhen, Broja is rated highly by the Londoners.

Napoli have been showing interest in the player for a long time. However, the playerโ€™s current contract with The Blues until June 2026 is restricting Napoli from prioritising his permanent transfer this summer.

Reports in England suggest that West Ham United are pushing for Brojaโ€™s signature. The England-born Albania international seems ready to leave Chelsea in search of some regular football ahead of the 2022/23 season.
