Perfect time for Everton to sign Armando Broja as Frank Lampard works on several deals
Everton are now looking to make a flurry of signings as we approach the start of the brand new Premier League season.
The Toffees so far have made two signings. Ruben Vinagre has joined on loan from Sporting CP while James Tarkowski has joined on a free transfer.
However, as per John Percy of The Telegraph (27 July), Frank Lampard is “working on several deals”, one of them being Armando Broja.
West Ham tried their best to lure Broja to the London Stadium but they failed in their attempt to sign him. They have signed Gianluca Scamacca instead from Sassuolo.
The door is now open for Frank Lampard to bring Broja to Goodison Park, and he could secure his signature by agreeing a loan deal with Chelsea.
The Blues are reluctant to part ways with their young striker this summer, but they could be willing to send him out on loan.
It’s not ideal, but considering Everton’s financial situation, getting a player of Broja’s quality on loan would be perfect.
The Toffees are reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Dwight McNeil from Burnley, but Broja would be a terrific addition to the club.
Last season, he scored nine goals in the Premier League, and he would be the perfect back-up option for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Adding a striker is a priority for Lampard, and he now has got brilliant opportunity to sign Broja after West Ham moved out of the race.
It seems Lampard is working on the deal, and it would represent a stunning piece of business if the Toffees can get the deal over the line.
