Everton are reportedly now 'keen' on signing Chelsea striker Armando Broja this summer.

The Lowdown: Striker uncertainty

Both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison face uncertain futures at Goodison Park, with a number of clubs keen to sign the pair after the Toffees almost got relegated last season.

If one or both of them were to leave Merseyside - the interest in the Brazilian appears to be particularly intense - then Frank Lampard's team will need to recruit another marquee striker in this window.

The Latest: Broja interest

Taking to Twitter, journalist Toby Cudworth of 90min has revealed that the Blues are just one of a number of sides now 'keen' on signing Broja, with Leeds United, West Ham United and Wolves also in the mix for his signature.

Expanding in his article for 90min, Cudworth adds that Chelsea will allow Broja to leave if the price is right, although that could be in excess of £30m.

The Verdict: Get it done

With at least one of Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison likely to leave, EFC will no doubt need to bring in another forward, and given the competition from their Premier League rivals, they need to get a deal done for Broja as soon as possible.

Dubbed a ‘dangerous‘ player by Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl and one with ‘incredible pace and strength‘ by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp, the 20-year-old is certainly going places after scoring nine goals in total while on loan at the Saints last season.

Nonetheless, having played in the top flight last term, he should be able to settle in and find his feet very quickly, and could be the player that sends Everton shooting back up the table.
