Chelsea have received a boost with in-demand forward Armando Broja joining up with the first-team squad for their pre-season training camp in Los Angeles, football.london understands.
Broja wasn't part of the 29-man group that flew out to the United States on Saturday lunchtime, although that is not believed to have been linked with the growing interest in the 20-year-old's services in the current transfer window.
West Ham United are understood to be leading the chase for the academy graduate, but a host of clubs across Europe are keeping tabs on his future at Stamford Bridge.
