Stuttgart move to sign Chelsea’s Armando Broja

Stuttgart have reportedly initiated talks to sign Chelsea striker Armando Broja.

The Albanian international has emerged as a key target for the Bundesliga club, with sources close to the talks confirming that negotiations are in early stages.

The push for Broja comes amidst concerns over the potential departures of forwards Mohamed Sankoh and Luca Pfeiffer, which could leave gaps in the team’s attack.

If a deal is reached, Broja is expected to provide depth behind Deniz Undav, Stuttgart’s record signing from Brighton, and Ermedin Demirović, who recently joined from Augsburg.

This move could see the 21-year-old Albanian continue his development in the competitive Bundesliga, following a season where he made 27 Premier League appearances for Chelsea and Fulham, contributing two goals and an assist.

Recall Chelsea have made their intentions known on letting the forward leave on a permanent move.

The London club have several attacking options that could affect Broja’s playing time if he is kept at Stamford Bridge.
