Thomas Tuchel is weighing up the possible inclusion of Armando Broja in his Premier League squad for next season, with contract talks for the Chelsea star, according to reports.
Broja spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Vitesse, in which he netted 10 Eredivisie goals over 31 games in the Dutch top flight.
The Albania international signed his first professional contract with Chelsea in February 2020 and made his only senior appearance for them as a substitute in the Premier League a month later.
But with the deal set to expire in the summer of 2022, Sky Sports claim that talks over a new deal are set to begin.
Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud look likely to leave in the upcoming transfer window, meaning Tuchel is exploring his forward options ahead if next campaign.
And Sky claim that the German is considering bringing Broja into his team for the 2021/22 Premier League season.
In terms of potential signings in the striker department, Dortmund’s Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have been linked with moves to Chelsea this summer.

Romelu Lukaku has also been placed on Tuchel’s wishlist, but the Belgian star has insisted that he is keen on staying at Inter, despite Antonio Conte’s exit.
‘Yes, I am staying,’ Lukaku told HLN this week. ‘I’ve already had contact with the man who normally becomes our new manager.
‘Maybe I shouldn’t say that yet… but it was a very positive conversation.
‘There’s also the challenge of doing it again [winning the league with Inter]. I feel good at Inter.’
