Armando Broja flies out to Chelsea’s USA tour after a paperwork issue

Armando Broja has flown out to link up with Chelsea for their pre-season tour in the US.

Striker Broja was left out of the initial 29-man party that left the UK for Los Angeles on Saturday.

But he has now travelled to the States alongside Raheem Sterling whose move to Chelsea from Manchester City in a deal worth up to £50m is set to be confirmed.

Broja, 20, is a man in demand with West Ham, Everton and Newcastle all interested in signing him following his loan spell at Southampton last season.

But the delay in his departure is thought to have been due to a paperwork issue rather than uncertainty over his future.

Broja’s suitors have made their interest in signing him clear and discussions have been held between the Albanian frontman’s camp and new co-owner Todd Boehly.

Chelsea will be in LA this week for a training camp before heading to Las Vegas for a friendly

Manager Thomas Tuchel is keen to run the rule over Broja in pre-season before a call is made on what is best for the club and young striker.

Chelsea will be in LA this week for a training camp before heading to Las Vegas for their first friendly against Club America on Saturday.

They then face Charlotte FC on Wednesday and then Arsenal in Florida on Saturday July 23.
