Tuchel set for final look at Broja as Irons close in
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel looks set to include Armando Broja in the club’s pre-season tour of America before allowing the player a possible move.
We understand he wants to take a final look at the 20 year old before becoming involved in selling a player for whom the the Hammers are expected to bid £30 million.
A Claretandhugh insider close to Chelsea explained that Tuchel is eventually likely to sell the youngster and that £30 million looks about right,
He said: “First though he will want to take him to the States in a fortnight for the close season tour.”
The Hammers have made it clear to CandH that Broja is very much of interest and based on recent Chelsea sales the price being quoted seems accurate.
Tuchel sold defender Marc Guehi to Palace last season for around £20 million after the 21 year old had spent two terms on loan at Swansea.
He turned out in 45 games at all levels last season becoming an England international in the process and now looks a possible World Cu[ squad inclusion.
Tuchel also allowed defender Fikayo Tomori to join AC Milan for £24 million and last season the 24 year old made 42 appearances at all levels.
The general feeling inside Stamford Bridge is that Broja will be allowed to move on but the Hammers again will allegedly gave to beat Newcastle to his signature.
