Aston Villa are said to be one of many Premier League sides to be interested in signing Armando Broja from Chelsea.
The last few weeks have seen Aston Villa linked to signing multiple different attacking options in the January window.
It has been made no secret that Unai Emery is after some forward reinforcements. Whether it be in this transfer window or next, to add to his squad.
There have been various links suggesting that he could move to sign stars like Albert Gudmundsson or Gio Reyna.
There have now been reports that revolve around Jhon Duran and his potential departure to Milan or Chelsea this winter.
With that being said, there would be a need to bring in a replacement option. This and someone to provide competition for Ollie Watkins. Now the Villans have been linked to signing a player doing well in the Premier League.
Aston Villa interested in Armando Broja
As a result of Jhon Duran being linked with a move away from the club, a new striker option must be considered.
This had seen a raft of different rumours including Artem Dovbyk who has scored in plentiful amounts in LaLiga. Now a link to a different star has come up which is likely to excite Villa fans.
A report by The Standard has suggested that the Villans are interested in Armando Broja. They are one of many Premier League teams that want to sign him.
On that, they said: “Chelsea are open to selling Armando Broja, with Aston Villa among the clubs interested in the 22-year-old striker.
“Villa’s interest is conditional on whether Colombian forward Jhon Duran. He has been linked with several clubs including Chelsea, leaves either in January or the summer.”
It must be said that if Duran is allowed to leave and join Chelsea, it will create a strange situation. Villa will be without a striker and the Blues will have too many.
Although Emery and Co. do hold an interest in signing him, they might end up being put off by his valuation.
On that, it has been said: “Broja’s reported £50million asking price is considered overinflated by interested clubs. They value the Albania international at between £30m-£40m.”
Having a £50m asking price, especially in January is quite hefty. This is made especially clear by the fact he has one goal this season, according to FotMob.
Broja has had great spells in his career such as with Southampton and clearly has quality. At that price, he might be too much but there is no doubt in the quality he could add.
