Everton will be eager to bolster their ranks this summer to avoid another Premier League relegation battle next season.

The Toffees finished 15th in the table this term, though they would’ve secured 12th place were it not for their points deduction.

However, Everton are in poor financial shape and there’s a good chance they may have to sell more of their top players to avoid further PSR sanctions.

With that in mind, the Toffees may have to be frugal in the upcoming market during this latest period of uncertainty for the club.

Now, according to journalist Ben Jacobs, Everton are eyeing a £25million-rated Premier League forward who looks set for a change of clubs this summer.

Jacobs has taken to X to claim that Chelsea forward Armando Broja is expected to leave Stamford Bridge, but won’t return to Fulham.

The 22-year-old, who spent the second half of the season at Craven Cottage, is said to be a target for Everton, Wolves and Crystal Palace.

Broja is also on the radar of AS Monaco and AC Milan, while the player himself is reportedly open to a move to the Saudi Pro League.

The Albania international’s suitors apparently want to spend around £25million on him, despite Chelsea valuing him at £50million in January.

Who is Everton target Armando Broja?

Armando Broja spent time at Tottenham’s academy as a youngster before joining the Chelsea setup in 2009 and rising through the ranks.

The 22-year-old has spent time on loan at Dutch club Vitesse and English outfits Southampton and Fulham.

Broja’s loan stint in west London sadly wasn’t particularly fruitful, with just eight appearances and no goals to his name.

However, with the right guidance, Broja could well become a solid Premier League striker, as he has the right traits.

Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig sung his praises on X in 2022, deeming him a “complete” forward who’s a “clinical finisher” and “dangerous in the air”.

At £25million, Broja isn’t overly expensive, and a manager like Sean Dyche should be able to get the best out of him.
