West Ham United are believed to be closing in on the signing of Armando Broja from Chelsea.
According to a report from Romagiallorossa.it, West Ham are close to signing Chelsea ace Armando Broja in the summer transfer window, with Gianluca Scamacca set to join Roma on an expensive loan deal with an option to buy.

Hammers boss David Moyes really needs a striker who suits his system, especially with Scamacca, Danny Ings and Michail Antonio all being linked with an exit from the London Stadium.
And it seems as though the Scot still has his heart set on one man in particular…
Surprise report claims West Ham are now close to signing Chelsea star Armando Broja
Romagiallorossa.it reckon that the Hammers will not allow Scamacca to join Roma before getting a deal to sign Broja over the line.
I think the 21-year-old centre-forward would be the ideal signing for West Ham this summer.
He has been described as an ‘exceptional’ striker by The Athletic. Meanwhile, Albania coach Sergio Porrini called him ‘devastating’.
Broja possesses all the attributes required to succeed in a Moyes system at West Ham. He’s strong when playing with his back to goal and is always willing to stretch the opposition with tireless runs into the channels.
However, it’s worth noting that Broja suffered a serious ACL injury only six months ago. There are no guarantees that he will ever rediscover his best form when he returns to action.
If the price is right though, I certainly feel like Armando Broja will be worth the punt for West Ham.
It will be a shame to lose Scamacca but the fans will quickly forget about the Italian if the Chelsea star comes to the London Stadium and starts producing the goods.
