Fulham have made Chelsea forward Armando Broja one of their top targets as they seek striking reinforcements in January, according to the Daily Mail.

The Whites have struggled to score goals since Aleskandar Mitrovic forced through his move to Saudi Arabia in August and Marco Silva has been promised additions when the transfer window reopens after signing a new contract at Craven Cottage. Fulham are keen on Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy but believe he has a number of offers already on the table – so they are considering a loan move for Broja, who has recently returned to full fitness following a knee injury.

The Albanian international is unlikely to force his way into Mauricio Pochettino’s starting eleven and Chelsea would be open to allowing the 6ft 2in centre forward to play regular first-team football elsewhere in the top flight. Broja scored the Blues’ second goal in their derby win at Fulham in October and has impressed on loan at Vitesse Arnhem and Southampton in recent seasons. The Slough-born striker has also scored four goals in seventeen senior international appearances.
