Chelsea striker Armando Broja is reportedly unlikely to join the Blues on loan.
According to various reports, the 22-year-old is currently assessing a number of options in the Premier League and overseas and would be reluctant to move to Town. One source suggests the situation could drag on until the window closes.
It emerged earlier today that the Blues have held talks with Chelsea regarding Broja, who was linked with Town early in the transfer window, with a view to a loan.
According to BBC Sport, Chelsea are understood to be keen on a permanent deal rather than a loan having valued the Albanian international at £35 million.
Earlier in the week, it was reported that Broja would be keen to join Everton should Dominic Calvert-Lewin depart Goodison Park.
Slough-born Broja, who is 6ft 3in tall, moved to Stamford Bridge from Tottenham’s youth set-up in 2009.
Since then, he has spent time on loan at Vitesse, Southampton and Fulham, while making 11 starts and 27 sub appearances, scoring three goal, for his parent club.
Broja has been capped by Albania at full level 23 times, scoring five goals, and featured at Euro 2024.
