Report: West Ham could sign ‘devastating’ £40m striker from London rivals to replace Gianluca Scamacca

And a recent report suggested that Broja, 21, could be on the Hammers’ radar.

Now Jones has highlighted how West Ham are looking into the possibility of bringing the Albanian to East London this summer…

West Ham could sign ‘devastating’ £40m striker from London rivals to replace Gianluca Scamacca

Broja could come in and replace Scamacca at the London Stadium this summer according to Dean Jones.

West Ham chased the 21-year-old Blues forward pretty much all summer long last year but he remained at Stamford Bridge in the end, and Moyes signed Scamacca instead.

Chelsea apparently want around £40 million for Broja. Before his injury, that would have represented great value for West Ham.

However, there will be doubts about his long-term fitness now, and with Chelsea desperate to offload some players this summer, maybe the Hammers could pick the young forward up for slightly less than that reported fee.

If Broja is able to maintain long-term fitness, he would be a superb addition for us – he has absolutely everything that Moyes looks for in a striker.

He has been described as an ‘exceptional’ striker by The Athletic. Meanwhile, Albania coach Sergio Porrini called him ‘devastating’.

My problem with signing Armando Broja is that there are no guarantees that he will come back from his injury and return to his best.

Gianluca Scamacca is a superb striker, and if Moyes changes his system, he might just be able to get the best out of him.

As things stand though, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Italian left the London Stadium and was replaced by the Chelsea forward this summer.
