West Ham have stepped up their efforts to prise Armando Broja away from Chelsea after submitting an improved offer for the striker.
West Ham have upped their initial £25m plus £5m in add-ons approach to £30m plus add-ons and are also close to agreeing personal terms with Broja though are awaiting a final decision from Chelsea following their increased bid.
The 20 year-old has flown back to England from Chelsea’s pre-season tour in the USA though that was primarily due to an injury he picked up in training last week.
West Ham are determined to strengthen their strike force this summer and have identified Broja as a prime candidate to ease the goal-scoring burden on Michail Antonio.
