Chelsea striker Armando Broja is a January target for Premier League neighbours Fulham.

The Craven Cottage club are in the market for a forward after losing Aleksandar Mitrovic to Al-Hilal in August.

They are admirers of Serhou Guirassy at Stuttgart but know they face plenty of competition for the in-form 27-year old so are assessing a number of options with Jonas Wind of Wolfsburg also on their radar.

Broja is fit again after recovering from a serious knee injury and has made six appearances this season, including a start against Fulham where he scored in a 2-0 win.

However, he still needs more game time to get into his stride and with Chelsea in the market for another striker this January, they will consider allowing Broja out on loan.

Marco Silva’s side have largely struggled in front of goal this season, scoring only 10 times, and the Portuguese manager seems keen to reinforce his striker stocks 

While Broja was ruled out for the majority of last season, he has come back into the fold for Chelsea during the 2023-24 campaign, notably scoring against Fulham in their 2-0 win

Fulham like Broja’s style which has hallmarks of Mitrović and his Premier League experience is another bonus.

Other Premier League sides will also be monitoring developments but Fulham could prove well placed.

They remain in discussions with Fluminense for midfielder Andre too as they anticipate a fresh move from Bayern Munich for Joao Palhinha.

It comes as the Cottagers are looking to find a replacement for Aleksander Mitrovic, who left the club in the summer to join Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia

Sporting world mourns loss of ‘vibrant, witty man who was a joy to play for’

Gary Neville 

An extremely sad day. One of my great regrets is he didn’t continue as England manager. He was a great character and was on to something — he would almost predict the outcome of games and change the system. I’ve got no doubt this was the most technically gifted, tactically aware coach England have produced.

Terry Venables will be remembered as an England fan. Nationally he will be remembered for bringing those great times at Euro 96. He was a joy to play for.

Ange Postecoglou 

If you ask about a person who embodies everything this football club (Tottenham) has always wanted to be, it’s Terry. It wasn’t just about the way he managed or coached, but the person he was. He influenced Australia too as manager of the national team; he almost got us to the (1998) World Cup. The biggest testament is that anyone I’ve ever come across who has worked with him will say he is by far the best coach, manager and tactician they have come across.

Gareth Southgate

It was quickly evident playing for Terry Venables that he was an outstanding coach and manager. Tactically excellent, he had a wonderful manner, capable of handling everyone from the youngest player to the biggest star. He was open-minded, forward-thinking and created a brilliant environment with England that allowed his players to have one of the most memorable tournaments in England history. A brilliant man who made people feel special.

Jamie Redknapp

Every day working with you was an education. Euro 96 was one of the best times of my life, thank you for believing in me and giving me my debut for England. I owe you so much.

David Beckham 

I met Terry in Barcelona and while training at Tottenham at the age of 9. He was one of our greatest England managers and loved by players and fans.

Paul Gascoigne 

Such a sad day, cheers boss xxxx.

Gary Lineker 

Devastated. The best, most innovative coach I had the privilege and pleasure of playing for. He was vibrant, charming, witty and a friend. He’ll be hugely missed.

Alan Shearer 

Extremely sad news. RIP Boss. I owe you so much. You were amazing.

Stan Collymore 

Vivacious, funny, a super coach, a man who lived life to its fullest.

Cliff Jones 

Sad to hear of the passing of team-mate and friend Terry Venables. A man of many talents.

Frank Bruno 

I remember how he got the whole of England into believing we could win Euro 96. A sad, sad loss.
