Irons target linked with Real Madrid

Former West Ham target Armando Broja is being linked with Real Madrid.

The Hammers were considering a potential bid to sign the striker from Chelsea this summer but have instead signed Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo.

David Moyes had initially placed Broja at the top of his shortlist but a change of heart saw Scamacca pursued instead.

The London Evening Standard, though, now reports that Real are considering a shock swoop to sign the forward from the Blues this summer.

Thomas Tuchel is not said to have made a decision over Broja’s future and Chelsea are currently preparing to include him in their squad for the 2022/23 season.

The Irons are said to retain a slight interest in signing Broja but only on loan, while there is also interest from Newcastle, Everton, and a number of Italian clubs.

It remains to be seen if Broja will be on the move this summer but he is clearly seen as a target for some top clubs.
