Armando Broja gives Chelsea an ultimatum after Everton, Southampton and West Ham draw closer | Soccer

The 20-year-old was loaned to Southampton last season and scored nine goals during his time with Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side.

The striker is unlikely to be short of offers this summer as Newcastle United, Everton, Southampton and West Ham are all interested in a deal.

Everton are understood to be considering a £30m offer for Broja, while West Ham have also started talks with Chelsea.

According to Albanian TV channel Ora News, Broja’s entourage have made it clear to Chelsea that the striker would like to leave Stamford Bridge if Thomas Tuchel clarifies that he is not part of his plans for the upcoming season.

Broja will hold talks with Tuchel and co-owner Todd Boehly when he starts pre-season training.

Chelsea’s pre-season tour begins with a training camp in Los Angeles, while their first game is in Las Vegas on July 16 against Club America.

At the end of last season, Tuchel emphasized that Broja would be given the chance to secure a regular role in the team.

“I want to have her [Broja and Conor Gallagher] in the pre-season,” said Tuchel.

“We will decide in the pre-season what will happen next. It’s hard [them]and how they do it.’

Broja’s chances will increase even after Romelu Lukaku’s departure to Inter.
