A striker who has been sporadically linked with a move to St James’ Park over the past few seasons is set to be offered Eddie Howe’s way this summer.
Newcastle are looking to strengthen their front line with Callum Wilson’s contract set to expire in the summer, leaving Will Osula as the only back-up option to Alexander Isak as we prepare for a return to European football.
Liam Delap is a name that’s been strongly linked, however, the £30m Ipswich Town forward is attracting huge attention ahead of this summer’s transfer window, with Man Utd and Chelsea also in the mix.
According to [The Chronicle](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-complete-first-incoming-31697397?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar), Newcastle are set be offered the chance to sign forgotten Chelsea striker Armando Broja.
Lee Ryder reports that Everton will not be looking to make the Albanian a permanent fixture in Merseyside after a lacklustre loan spell with the Toffees.
Everton had the option to sign the former Southampton loan star for £30m at the end of the season, but reports suggest they will not pursue a deal.
Chelsea are desperate to balance their books this summer to comply with PSR and are set to move on up to 10 first team players with Broja one that they are keen to shift on, and have offered him to Newcastle – but there are some concerns to be had over the potential signing.
Armando Broja’s stock has plummeted since his exciting loan spell at Southampton when he announced himself to the Premier League with six league goals in his maiden campaign.
The 23-year-old has scored just two league goals in the three seasons since and has failed to find the back of the net in all competitions in either of his last two loan spells with Fulham and Everton.
Chelsea placed a £30m price tag on Broja within his loan-to-buy switch to Everton, and you can’t help but feel that even at just 23 he hasn’t shown enough in recent seasons to justify that fee.
If that remained the Blues asking price you would imagine they would be hard pushed for a buyer with Broja desperate for a run of games after starting just four times for Everton in the Prem after suffering with injuries.
