West Ham could still move for £30m striker at London Stadium

West Ham signing Armando Broja is not impossible, according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs.

The Hammers are long-term admirers of the Chelsea frontman but appear to have turned their attentions to other areas on the pitch following the arrival of Gianluca Scamacca.

Back in July, Sky Sports claimed that West Ham were ‘advanced talks’ with Broja, who’s future at Stamford Bridge has been in major doubt all summer.

The report stated that the Hammers had a proposed deal worth £30m for the 20-year-old, with David Moyes in need of a striker to provide competitive and cover for Michail Antonio.

But their interest in Broja cooled, which saw them bring Scamacca to the London Stadium from Serie A outfit Sassuolo.

The Italy international has enjoyed a promising start to his Hammers career, scoring his first goal in the Europa Conference League victory over Viborg on Thursday.

Despite Scamacca’s arrival in the Premier League, Jacobs failed to rule out GSB bringing in Broja, who could still leave Chelsea despite featuring in the early weeks of the season.

Jacobs believes that it’s not completely impossible Broja ends up making the switch across London but admitted that it’s quite unlikely having already signed a striker already this window.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “I’m not sure now that West Ham would come back in for Broja, but it’s not impossible because when they were trying to sign him permanently they said when Scamacca came in they wouldn’t be giving up on him.”

Moyes would surely welcome another striker option, especially one with Broja’s skill set, but it’s not a must heading into the final stages of the transfer window.

He currently has Antonio and Scamacca, while Jarrod Bowen has also enjoyed success when playing down the middle,
