# West Ham: Insider shares major Armando Broja transfer update

**As per [West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) insider [Claret & Hugh](https://www.claretandhugh.info/irons-consider-loan-swoop-for-pl-ace/), there has been an exciting update regarding on-loan Southampton striker Armando Broja.**

### The lowdown: Breakthrough campaign

Since joining Southampton from Chelsea at the start of the 2021/22 season, Broja has caught the eye on the south coast, scoring [nine times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/armando-broja/leistungsdaten/spieler/571743) for the Saints.

Arsenal have been [linked](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1565924/Chelsea-news-Armando-Broja-Arsenal-EXCLUSIVE) with a move for the 20-year-old Albania international as his parent club go through a protracted off the field takeover turmoil.

Having previously been tentatively [credited with an interest](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12609059/west-ham-put-armando-broja-on-list-of-summer-transfer-targets-papers) in the powerful youngster, it now appears that the admiration from east London could be turned into something more tangible…

### The latest: C&H make a big claim

Reputable Irons insider [C&H](https://www.claretandhugh.info/irons-consider-loan-swoop-for-pl-ace/) have claimed that West Ham are ‘considering a potential loan swoop’ for Broja this summer.

The report states that the Hammers have a ‘very real interest’ in the [12-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/armando-broja/nationalmannschaft/spieler/571743/verein_id/3561) ace and will look to put together a package that includes the option to buy at the end of a temporary spell.

Furthermore, it’s suggested that Chelsea ‘might be willing’ to allow the man dubbed [‘dangerous’](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/59843062) by Ralph Hasenhuttl following a goalscoring display against Brentford to leave on loan once again.

### The verdict: Make it happen

David Moyes, alongside recruitment chief Rob Newman, desperately need to address the current lack of a natural understudy for Michail Antonio at the London Stadium during the upcoming window.

Whilst on loan at Dutch Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem in 2020/21, Broja netted [11 times and registered three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/armando-broja/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/571743) in 34 appearances across all competitions, so he has now shown in multiple leagues he knows where the back of the net is.

Goals aside, the 6 foot 2 powerhouse has won 4.8 duels and taken 1.5 shots on average per game this term whilst earning a 6.69 rating ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/armando-broja/996985)), highlighting a willingness to complete against defenders and attacking prowess that would make him ideally suited to bolster Moyes’ attacking options.
