West Ham make Chelsea striker Armando Broja top transfer target as Hammers set to bid £30m for ex-Southampton loan star

WEST HAM have made Armando Broja their top target.

And the Hammers are set to make a £30million bid to sign him from Chelsea.

The Albanian striker, 20, impressed on loan at Southampton last season, where he netted six league goals.

He could still be given his chance to impress during pre-season with the Blues this summer.

But a hefty offer could convince Chelsea to sell.

And West Ham are ready to do just that. 

No formal talks have been held between the two London clubs.

But negotiations will commence when the Irons make their offer.

Southampton would also love to sign Broja again, either on loan again on permanently.

However, the St Mary's club would be unlikely to be able to match West Ham in a bidding war.

Two of Broja's best performances last season came against West Ham.

Those were in Saints' 3-2 away win in the league on Boxing Day and March's 3-1 victory in the FA Cup at St Mary's, in which Broja scored Southampton's third goal.
