The president of the Albanian Football Federation has stated that he would be ‘doubly thrilled’ as a Milan fan if Armando Broja signed with the club this summer.
During an interview with Sportitalia (via Calciomercato.com), Armand Duka expressed his strong regard for Broja, who is one of the most significant players in Albania’s current squad.
The Chelsea striker has been linked with Milan for more than a year, both on loan and permanently.
Those flames have been fanned again this summer with Milan seeking a young striker to be Olivier Giroud’s long-term replacement.
Duka actually is a self-professed Milan fan and he thinks that Broja is one of Albania’s most talented players ever, and he therefore would love to see him join the Rossoneri this summer.
“He is certainly one of the greatest talents in the entire history of Albanian football. I am a Milanista and if he were to arrive at Milanello I would be doubly happy. He would undoubtedly be the best and strongest coup Milan could make in the summer market,” Duka said.
“The youngster have amazing potential, and I believe he has yet to demonstrate his abilities. He needs to play at club level, and I believe that Serie A and AC Milan provide a tremendous opportunity for him to get to the top of European football. He will be a top scorer in Europe. I am confident that he is ready to experience Italian football, and if it occurs, I believe it will be a success.”
Joshua Zirkzee appeared to be Milan’s top target for the attack this summer, but issues over the agent’s commissions and interest from Manchester United mean the move is far from likely.
A number of other names have been connected, and Broja would be one of the easier signings for Milan to accomplish considering that he is not a vital player at Chelsea.
