Chelsea striker Armando Broja has been touted as a possible replacement for Gianluca Scamacca by West Ham United.
According to Romagiallorossa.According to it, the Hammers are willing to move the 24-year-old Italian to AS Roma on a ‘expensive loan’ with an option to buy.
There were speculations of the Serie A club including a few players as part of the trade, but the source claims that no counterparts will be included in the operation to get Scamacca to Roma.
West Ham requested Roma general manager Tiago Pinto for more time last Friday to find a replacement for the former Sassuolo star, and this is where the Chelsea player comes in.
The Albania international, 21, was sidelined with a major knee injury at the end of last year and is scheduled to return to training during the preseason. This hasn’t deterred David Moyes’ team from trying to sign him.
In truth, it has been reported that West Ham ‘are closing in’ on a deal for Broja, and that if the ‘acquisition’ of Broja by West Ham is ‘formalised,’ there will be a ‘definitive go-ahead’ for the Italian’s loan move to Roma.
If West Ham does sign the Chelsea striker, he will not be the only attacking reinforcement in this window, according to the site.
