Just a few days ago, Armando Broja was on the verge of joining West Ham United from Chelsea but now, that deal has fallen flat on its face.
The Hammers have instead chosen to go after Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca and as per the reports, they have already agreed on a deal for the Italian.
This decision from David Moyes has left Armando Broja high and dry because Thomas Tuchel has already made it clear that the youngster is not in his plans for the upcoming season.
However, all hope is not lost for Broja because a series of Premier League clubs are now being linked with him.
The Saints are finding it difficult to sign Liam Delap from Manchester City so they could turn their focus back to Armando Broja and as per reports, Newcastle United and Everton are also interested in signing the 20-year-old.

Where will Armando Broja end up next season?
The striker had left Chelsea’s pre-season tour to fast-track his move to West Ham United but even though this transfer has failed, we don’t think he is going back any time soon.
He’s fully understood that his future lies outside of Chelsea and with so many EPL clubs interested in him, Armando Broja should be able to secure an exit before the new season begins.
He obviously knows Southampton very well because he spent the previous season on loan under Hasenhuttl but his time at the club was not particularly successful so he will think twice before heading back to the St Mary’s Stadium. Broja had managed to score only six goals in 32 Premier League appearances for the club.
Everton have just lost Richarlison so there’s ample room in their attacking department but they narrowly escaped relegation last season so no one really expects them to pull off any major miracles this time around. It remains to be seen if the Chelsea lad is keen to join a club who are currently showing no signs of a resurgence.
Newcastle United are the third club who have been linked with the Albanian and we feel this will be the ideal destination for young Armando Broja.
The Magpies have done exceptionally well under their new manager and Eddie Howe works very well with young talents so Broja can flourish at St James’ Park.
Having said all this, no one’s heard any official reaction from the Chelsea camp after the forward’s move to West Ham United collapsed meaning there’s still an outside possibility that Thomas Tuchel might ditch the plan to push him out and try to hand him a clean slate.
