West Ham and Everton declare interest in signing £30m-rated Chelsea striker Armando Broja after impressive loan at Southampton - but Blues boss Thomas Tuchel wants to assess him in pre-season first

Everton and West Ham have formally registered their interest in Chelsea striker Armando Broja.

The two clubs are understood to have made official contact to indicate their desire to sign the Albanian frontman permanently this summer.

Broja is a wanted man after impressing while on loan at Southampton last season. Newcastle have also been linked with the £30m-rated star.
