Albania FA president would be ‘doubly happy’ as a Milan fan if Broja joins

The president of the Albanian Football Federation has said that he would be ‘doubly happy’ as a Milan fan if Armando Broja signed for the club this summer. 

Speaking during an interview with Sportitalia (via Calciomercato.com), Armand Duka showed just how highly he rates Broja, who is one of the most important players in the current Albania set-up.

The Chelsea striker has been linked with Milan for over a year now, for both loan deals and permanent moves.

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 boy has incredible qualities and I think he hasn’t yet shown what he can do. He needs to play at club level and I think Serie A and AC Milan represent an excellent opportunity for him to rise to the top of European football. He will be one of the best strikers in Europe. I am convinced that he is ready to experience Italian football and if that happens I think it will be a success.”

Joshua Zirkzee has seemed to be Milan’s primary target for the attack this summer but complications over the agent’s commissions and the interest from Manchester United means that move is far from a certainty.

A whole host of other names have been linked and Broja would be one of the more accessible deals for Milan to complete given he is not a key player at Chelsea.
