Chelsea open contract talks with striker amid Thomas Tuchel Kai Havertz frustration vs Tottenham

Chelsea have found the cherry on top to an excellent summer transfer window, with Armando Broja set to pen a new deal at Stamford Bridge. The 20-year-old striker has been heavily linked with an exit from west London following an impressive loan spell at Southampton last season.

football.london understand that Broja, who is valued at around £57million, was looked at closely by Tuchel in pre-season amid the absence of a 'out-and-out number nine'. It's understood that Everton are eager to sign the youngster, with several top-flight European clubs also in the queue.

Broja, who sees his contract at Chelsea expire in 2026 after signing a new long-term deal last summer, featured 38 times for the Saints, directly contributing toward ten goals. The Albania international played a key role in steering Ralph Hasenhuttl's side to safety from relegation.
