Fulham Eyes Late Deal for Chelsea’s Armando Broja Worth £50 Million

Fulham’s manager, Marco Silva, is actively pursuing a late January deal for Chelsea’s striker, Armando Broja. Despite Chelsea valuing Broja at £50 million, Fulham remains in the race for the Albanian international.

The inflated asking price reflects the scarcity of strikers in the market, akin to the £72 million Manchester United paid for Rasmus Hojlund.
