Fulham and Wolves are reportedly in talks to sign Armando Broja on a permanent deal, with Chelsea looking for £50m for the striker.

The Albanian international has been strongly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this January, with the likes of Aston Villa and West Ham all rumoured to be interested in signing Broja.

Lauded as ‘sensational’ by Southampton legend Francis Benali, the 22-year-old attacker has hardly featured for the Blues this season despite returning from injury earlier in the campaign.

And according to the Evening Standard, Chelsea are looking to sell Broja, with Fulham and Wolves both in talks to land the Slough-born attacker before Thursday’s deadline.

As per the report, though, the Premier League duo are looking to sign Broja for around £35m, way below Chelsea’s £50m valuation of the Albanian forward this January.

Indeed, whilst Broja is an outstanding talent and has shown he can do a job in the Premier League with the right club, Chelsea might have overestimated how much they could realistically sell the striker for this month.

Chelsea simply have to lower their demands for Armando Broja

It’s clear that Chelsea have now settled on Broja as their big-name academy sale for the January window, with the Blues eager to bring in a striker before the market shuts later this week.

Yet whilst Broja is a top talent and could be worth £50m in the future, this valuation is simply way too high for the here and now for any club to realistically match.

As a result, Chelsea must lower their demands for Broja, who at a more respectable £35m could be a good fee for the west London club to receive in the coming days.

Moreover, lowering the fee could bring in additional interest from rival clubs, with Chelsea in a race against time to sell Broja and then replace the striker with a top-quality option.
