It looks like Armando Broja won’t be arriving at St James’ Park this summer.
It had been suggested over the weekend that the 20-year-old was closing in on a loan move to West Ham, and The Athletic have now issued an update of their own on the in-demand striker.
They report that, despite interest from Newcastle United, the player favours a move to West Ham, leaving Eddie Howe to consider alternatives once again.
Broja is a London-born Albanian who has spent the majority of his youth in the capital – which may explain why he’d prefer to spend the coming season closer to home with the Hammers, opposed to heading North for a year on Tyneside?
With long-term target Hugo Ekitike joining PSG over the weekend and deals for Moussa Diaby and Alexander Isak proving too expensive, it would be another mini-blow to miss out on Broja – especially if it’s a loan deal that could’ve free’d up funds to spend big on a right winger.
The player believed to be on his way back from Chelsea’s tour of the US, so we can expect more to emerge soon on his future.

For God’s sake will you sad west ham fans give it a rest because yous all would have loved them to takeover your club like all prem club fans would apart from man City and how many of you west ham fans know if we were are weren’t in for the player so concentrate on your own club where you’ve actually got a good thing going at the moment instead of getting paranoid about what’s going on at our club
