Wolves ready to make Chelsea ‘sweat’ over Armando Broja move
Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea striker Armando Broja, but the Midlands club could wait to make a move.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea striker Armando Broja, and journalist Ben Jacobs has told GIVEMESPORT that they could wait until late in the January transfer window to make a move, hoping his price tag decreases.
Gary O’Neil has started to get a tune out of his side this season with Wolves far and away from the relegation zone. However, to go to the next level and start competing for European places, reinforcements may be necessary at Molineux. Supporters of the Midlands outfit would never have expected to be competing in the top half of the Premier League this term, but they have a real chance considering they are just a few points away from seventh place.
Adding a new centre-forward could be their priority in the remaining days of the window. Sasa Kalajdzic and Fabio Silva have both departed on loan, leaving a gap in the striker position for O’Neil.
Wolves keen on Broja but face competition
According to The Athletic, Chelsea could be willing to offload Broja before the end of the winter window. With Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku as options in attack for the Blues, Mauricio Pochettino’s side could look to cash in in order to fund further reinforcements in other positions. The report claims that Wolves, Fulham, and West Ham United are all keen on securing his signature this month.
Journalist Jacobs previously told GIVEMESPORT that Wolves could be forced to pay £50m in order to prise Broja away from Stamford Bridge. However, the respected reporter claims that Chelsea may have to lower their asking price in order to sanction a sale for the Albanian striker. Matheus Cunha has been O’Neil’s go-to option through the middle of attack this campaign, but there’s an argument to suggest that he could be more effective behind a natural striker.
