According to Sky Sports, David Moyes’ side have made an offer worth £30m for Broja and £32.3m for Onana.

Broja’s situation

The Albanian forward is currently away on pre-season duty with Chelsea.

He has played for the Blues since 2009 and has risen up through their youth ranks.

Broja, 20, has played just once for their first-team so far in his career and had a loan spell away at Vitesse before his stint at Southampton last term.

He was a hit with the Saints and fired 11 goals in 34 matches in all competitons.

Onana latest

Onana only joined Lille last year but the French side are facing a battle to keep hold of him this summer.

He has been identified by West Ham as someone to bolster their options in the middle of the park.

The club has a vacancy to fill in that department following Mark Noble’s retirement and they could see Onana as the ideal candidate to fill the void.

He is only 20-years-old so has good potential and is an international for Belgium already with a single cap under his belt.
