Chelsea sent fresh Armando Broja message that would not be good for Southampton transfer hopes
loanee Armando broja could be the man to replace Romelu lukaku at Chelsea next season, according to one of his former team-mates.
Five of those goals have come in the Premier League, with the 20-year-old impressing in the top flight as he leads the line for Hasenhuttl’s men.
His form has led to speculation over his long-term future, with Southampton in regular talks with Chelsea over his progress, while Hasenhuttl has made no secret over his desire to see Broja stay beyond the end of his loan spell.
Southampton are hoping to be able to seal a deal with Chelsea to make Broja’s move permanent, but no agreement has been reached as yet, with Saints set to continue talks with the Blues over the coming months ahead of the summer transfer window.
However, Thomas Bruns, who played with Broja during his loan spell with Vitesse in Holland, reckons that the Blues may have other plans for the striker, adding that he can see him being a long-term replacement for Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea.
“Thirty million I did not expect, but I did expect that he [Broja] would end up at a good club,” he told Voetbalzone.
“He sees Mason Mount as his example. He also did well at Vitesse and is now a key player at Chelsea.
“No shocking numbers, but apart from those ten goals, he has shown what other qualities he has. I think he can make it to the first team at Chelsea within four years.
“That will also be his goal. They will need a new striker anyway if [Romelu] Lukaku wants to move on in the long run. I think he could do that.”
If Bruns’ prediction comes true, it would not spell good news for Southampton and their hopes of signing him permanently.
