Beckford thinks Broja will be so frustrated amid reports Leeds want him

Jermaine Beckford has told Optus Sport that Armando Broja will be so frustrated with his current situation at Chelsea amid reports Leeds United want the striker this summer.

Leeds demolished the Blues at Elland Road on Sunday. Goals from Brenden Aaronson, Rodrigo and Jack Harrison got the ground rocking.

The win perhaps alleviated some concerns over whether Leeds need another striker. But it does seem that Jesse Marsch’s men could yet target a new goalscorer before the deadline passes.

Journalist Ben Jacobs told Give Me Sport that Leeds are in the mix to sign Broja. And it would seemingly not come as a surprise to Beckford if Broja did look to leave imminently.

The £30 million-rated Albania international has only featured for a handful of minutes so far this term. That is despite Chelsea not using an out-and-out striker.

And after watching the Blues lose, Beckford suggested that Broja will be growing particularly annoyed about not featuring more.

“I’d be so frustrated if I was Broja,” he told Optus Sport. “He’s a centre forward. He was on loan at Southampton last season and did really well – so why not throw him in? Give him half an hour at the end of the game. What’s the worst that can happen?”

Broja will be so frustrated

Broja will surely be wary of sticking around beyond this summer. Chelsea are also reportedly working on a deal to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. So that may push the Albania international further down the pecking order.

Broja may want to ask for a move away. And that could be good news for Beckford’s old side with Leeds reportedly keen on the 20-year-old.

Having said that, Leeds may feel, after a 3-0 win, that they do not need another goalscorer. Certainly, Broja would now face a difficult task trying to get into Jesse Marsch’s plans if he made the move to Elland Road.
