Amina UmarEverton FC has initiated a move for Chelsea striker Armando Broja, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The Toffees have joined the race to sign the Albanian forward, valued at around £25 million by Chelsea, as the June 30 Premier League profit and sustainability regulations (PSR) deadline approaches.Romano revealed on his YouTube channel that several clubs, including Everton, have made inquiries about Broja in the last 24 to 48 hours. With PSR set to impact Everton’s transfer plans, the club may accelerate their pursuit of the 22-year-old striker.The potential transfer comes as Everton faces a goalscoring dilemma. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s proposed move to Newcastle United has stalled, leaving Sean Dyche without a primary striker.
Although Iliman Ndiaye’s signing from Marseille provides some relief, the team still requires a reliable goal scorer.Last season, Everton struggled in front of goal, with only Sheffield United scoring fewer goals in the Premier League. Calvert-Lewin, despite his injuries, finished as the team’s leading goalscorer with seven league goals, highlighting the need for a prolific striker.
Armando Broja’s transfer links have not excited the Goodison Park faithful, given his last Premier League goal came in October 2023 against Fulham. However, his potential signing would address a significant issue for Everton, who are eager to bolster their attack.In other news, Belgian media have criticized Amadou Onana’s performance at Euro 2024, labeling it “disappointing.” Meanwhile, Everton continues to navigate the complex transfer market, seeking to strengthen their squad while adhering to PSR regulations.
The pursuit of Broja demonstrates Everton’s determination to address their goalscoring woes. With the transfer window open, the Toffees will likely explore various options to secure a reliable striker. As the PSR deadline looms, Everton must act swiftly to secure their targets and ensure a successful season ahead.
