Everton are set for a transformative summer transfer window.
The Friedkin Group are set to back David Moyes with a substantial budget as PSR issues are finally expected to be lifted.
Everton are already eyeing Tom Fellows after his impressive season in the second tier with West Bromwich Albion.
Hamza Igamane is also being linked to Goodison Park, though, the Rangers striker is unlikely to join if Everton activate Armando Broja’s £30m buy option.
With that said, Fabrizio Romano has just shared the latest update on Broja’s future.

Armando Broja won’t be part of Chelsea’s squad next season
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Broja isn’t in Chelsea’s plans and is expected to be sold in the summer.
“Chelsea have big respect for Armando Broja, coming from the academy, a good talent, but Chelsea do not believe he can be an important part of the squad in the future, I expect him to be on the market.”
So, it seems Everton are perhaps better off renegotiating the buy option if indeed they decide to bring him back to Goodison Park.
Broja’s spell on Merseyside so far certainly hasn’t justified a £30m transfer, as he’s failed to get off the mark in seven appearances.
Everton should stay clear of Broja
Broja is evidently a talented player and when he has played for Everton, he’s impressed supporters.
However, unfortunately, the Albania international has a really worrying injury record, as he’s missed 29 games this term.
Last term, Broja was sidelined for 31 days with a knee issue, so it’s just not a risk worth taking and Moyes should turn his attention to someone like Igamane.
Igamane is expected to cost around £25m, so he’d be a cheaper and more versatile option, as he can operate as a number 10, too.
