Chelsea striker would entertain summer exit
Chelsea striker Armando Broja would entertain the prospect of leaving the club permanently during the summer transfer window.
The Albania international was impressive for the Blues in pre-season last summer, but he was still loaned out to Southampton.
He has since bagged eight goals for the Saints in all competitions. His progress has caught the eye of London rivals Arsenal.
According to The Mirror, the 20-year-old has refused to rule out leaving the Blues this summer amid the fierce competition for places.
Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz are presently the centre-forward options at the disposal of manager Thomas Tuchel.
All three have been inconsistent, and there have been suggestions that Broja could emerge as the long-term solution for the Blues.
Tuchel, however, may have different ideas which could lead to Broja's exit. He could be prised away for a fee of around £30 million.
Arsenal are keeping a close eye on his performances ahead of a possible approach to sign him during the next transfer window.
