Report: Showdown talks between striker and Chelsea imminent amid Newcastle interest

Chelsea striker Armando Broja will hold talks with the Blues this week amid interest from Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United and Frank Lampard’s Everton, according to The Express.

The Express are reporting this morning that Broja will hold further talks with Chelsea this week over his future.

Newcastle want to sign the Albania international but on loan, while Everton are keen on the 20-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Southampton from former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea.

The Express have added that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel could decide to keep Broja in his team for next season.

Could Newcastle United sign Armando Broja from Chelsea?

In our view, Newcastle United may not be able to sign Armando Broja from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

The Express has reported that Broja does not want to go out on another loan deal, while Newcastle ‘would favour a loan move for’ the striker.

That suggests that the Magpies could struggle to convince the youngster to move to St. James’ Park.

Moreover, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe already has Callum Wilson and Chris Wood at his disposal, so Broja could struggle for regular playing time at St. James’ Park.
