CBS reporter Ben Jacobs has claimed that Leeds United have “made enquiries” over Chelsea’s Armando Broja.

The Whites are reportedly looking to bring in a new striker before the summer transfer window shuts.

At present, Leeds have Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo, Joe Gelhardt and Sam Greenwood as options up front.

Meanwhile, Broja has been linked with a move away from Chelsea for much of the summer.

The likes of West Ham, Everton and Newcastle have reportedly been eyeing the 20-year-old.

Broja has reportedly been the subject of a £30m-plus bid from the Hammers.

However, the Blues would apparently prefer for the Albania international to go out on loan again.

Broja played in Chelsea’s opener against Everton at the weekend, getting 15 minutes off the bench.

However, Jacobs feels that the youngster’s future is still up in the air.

The journalist, speaking on Newcastle fan podcast NUFC Matters, discussed Broja.

He talked about Leeds’ apparent interest in the “incredible” player, as well as their links with Arnaud Kalimuendo.

“So you’ve sort of loosely speaking, got Newcastle, West Ham – historically anyway – and Everton looking at Broja,” said Jacobs.

“And then to a lesser extent, but they’ve made enquiries, Leicester and Leeds United – who also need a striker.

“Leeds are actually in quite a similar position to Newcastle because they’re over-reliant on Bamford.

“And they want a young talent too, and they’re looking at [Arnaud] Kalimuendo at PSG for around £25m.

“And if PSG are prepared to sell, and we wait and see on that.”
