Southampton are not pursuing a permanent deal for on-loan Chelsea striker Armando Broja.

TalkSPORT says Saints are not planning a bid to make Broja's loan move permanent, despite initial reports of a £25m deal in place for the Chelsea striker.

The Albanian international has been in fine form for the Saints, scoring seven goals in 21 outings since joining on loan last summer.

There is however no plans to make his move permanent in the final days of the January transfer window, despite ongoing interest from Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.

West Ham are reportedly interested in the 20-year-old, who has only played four minutes of first-team football for Chelsea, featuring against Everton in the Premier League in March 2020.
