Thomas Tuchel does not expect Armando Broja to depart Chelsea this summer.
Broja was sent home from Chelsea's preseason tour of America, with reports claiming West Ham United are close to securing his signature.
However, Tuchel believes the Albania striker will stay at Stamford Bridge.
"I don't expect Armando to leave," Tuchel told his pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday's game.
"We are aware of offers and interest. We will take this decision together with the owner and the player.
"When he was here I was aware that he was trying to impress and become a Chelsea player as soon as possible."
