Chelsea striker Armando Broja is flying back to England for further talks with West Ham about a potential transfer to the London Stadium.
Broja was initially omitted from the Blues' US tour squad, then flew out last week after a move from Chelsea failed to materialise.
BBC Sport understands no deal has been agreed with West Ham for the 20-year-old Albania forward.
Yet the situation has advanced far enough for him to head back.
Broja scored nine goals in 38 appearances during a successful loan spell at Southampton last season, but the south-coast club was unable to tempt him back on a permanent basis.
