'Ridiculous' - Chelsea transfer interest has Nottingham Forest fans in dreamland

Nottingham Forest fans are excited about the prospect of signing Chelsea youngster Armando Broja.

The 20-year-old forward has been building a reputation for himself by spending last season on loan at Southampton, where he enjoyed an excellent spell before tailing off in the final weeks off the campaign.

He scored six goals and registered one assist in 32 appearances on the South Coast.

Broja is a quick and powerful number nine who is highly rated at Stamford Bridge and has been linked with Everton and West Ham in recent days.

The Chelsea forward has four years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge and the Blues are unlikely to sell with Forest far more likely to push for a loan deal if they do move.

The Reds will count on manager Steve Cooper's excellent reputation for developing young talent and will be able to point to the progress of Djed Spence and James Garner this season during their loan spells.

Improvements up-front are desperately needed ahead of Forest's return to the Premier League; only Sam Surridge and Lyle Taylor are contracted for next season. A decision will need to be made on and by Lewis Grabban as he will be 35 by the end of next season.

This is what some Forest fans have said about the potential transfer move...

Broja would a ridiculous signing. Cant see it.

Broja would be a fantastic loan signing, he's unlikely to play for Chelsea and considering there's interest from a few other PL clubs, it'll show good intentions

Hopefully true… but these are the sort of players I’m glad we’re linked with, not Bale, Slimani etc

Be still my beating heart.

Two fantastic players

Just being linked with these players is great

Now these two would get the juices flowing

The Broja loan I can see happening. He knows
