With all the talk that Napoli could end up selling Victor Osimhen this summer, the Serie A side, should that happen, will need a replacement.
They would have a fair amount of money to play with, since any transfer of the Nigeria International would near the €100m mark, and one of the players they have their eyes on right now is Chelsea’s Armando Broja.
This comes from Gazzetta dello Sport, who explain the ‘spotlight’ is now on the ‘powerful’ Albania international in Naples.
Described as a similar profile to Christian Vieri, the Chelsea loanee ‘would be Osimhen’s replacement’, once he returns from his stint at Southampton.
Sent to the Premier League club for the season to get some much needed game time, the 20-year-old has impressed, scoring nine goals in 35 appearances in all competitions, as well as picking up an assist.
Whether his future beyond that is at Chelsea remains to be seen, because he’s been touted as the ideal successor to Romelu Lukaku by some, but if the Blues decide to cash in early, then Napoli appear ready to welcome him with open arms.
