Keep a watch on this transfer rumour, as it may leave Emery without a reliable deep attacker for the whole of the season.
Broja is on Chelsea’s list of possible departures from Stamford Bridge as the club looks to raise money after making large purchases. Broja’s sale would be a pure profit for the team, rendering players like Conor Gallagher, an academy graduate who has been linked to Tottenham, susceptible to transfer transfers.
Fulham, who need a striker badly, has also been strongly connected to a move for the 22-year-old; however, they are only considering a loan arrangement. GiveMeSport has been informed by journalist Ben Jacobs that Aston Villa is considering pursuing Broja.
The connections to Villa are noteworthy, particularly in light of Jhon Duran’s purported interest from Chelsea. Since coming to Villa Park in the summer, the 20-year-old has only made 14 appearances in the Premier League, always starting behind Ollie Watkins.
Duran has not received any offers as of yet, but his departure would require a replacement. According to reports, Chelsea might ask for £50 million for Broja, but Jacobs says that offers closer to £35 million are more realistic.
