Reported Newcastle United target Armando Broja has been left out of the Chelsea squad for their pre-season trip to the United States. The Magpies - as well as West Ham and Southampton - are linked with the Albanian international, who spent last season on loan at the Saints.
Despite offloading Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan, it appears Broja's days at Stamford Bridge are numbered. The Athletic claimed in midweek that the 20-year-old wanted his future ironed out before the trip to the States.
Ralph Hasenhuttl handed the Albanian international a chance to impress in the Premier League at St Mary’s last season. Six goals in 32 appearances is an underwhelming return but has not deterred their interest.
