Tammy Abraham, a forward for Roma, has reportedly been considered by West Ham and the Daily Mail.
The former Chelsea striker may be available for £20 million this summer, according to an online story published by the newspaper on June 14.
Roma is eager to cut Abraham’s salary after a season marred by injuries in 2023–2024. The 26-year-old’s signing has also been considered by Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Everton.
Abraham is seen by the Hammers as a viable substitute for Michail Antonio, who may decide to leave the London Stadium prior to the 2019–20 campaign.
Would Tammy Abraham be a better option for West Ham than Michail Antonio?
One may argue that, in terms of transfers thus far, West Ham has been the Premier League’s most active club.
The club’s first summer acquisition has been revealed despite the transfer market having only recently opened as of Friday, June 14. This is due to Luis Guilherme’s arrival at the London Stadium on Thursday, June 13.
Even though the team hasn’t been successful in every attempt to acquire a transfer, it is evident that the intention is there, and it appears that Julen Lopetegui will have support this summer.
A new number nine should be high on the list of priorities, and Abraham could prove to be a good replacement for Antonio.
Abraham might be a long-term replacement at the London Stadium because, above all, he is eight years younger than Antonio.
The Englishman has played well in Italy and the Premier League in the past, so at £20 million, he might be worth the risk.
