Arsenal chase Tammy Abraham
3253
Reports throughout the British media are linking Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham with a move to Arsenal. The reports suggest that the Gunners would initially sign the 23-year-old on loan for a season, with the deal also including a £40 obligation to buy.
That seems like a good deal if Arsenal can get it over the line, although the likes of West Ham and Aston Villa have also been linked with a move for Abraham. A switch to Arsenal would arguably be more attractive to the forward.
Abraham’s career has stalled at Chelsea in recent months because he has hardly featured for the Blues since the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as head coach. In fact, the youngster has made just eight top-flight appearances since the German boss arrived in January.
It seems pretty clear that Abraham is yet to convince the former Dortmund boss that he has a future at the south west London club. The Blues have been linked with big-money moves for the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland.
However, they may need to sell some of their fringe players to make any big moves this summer. A loan move for Abraham would not aid their chances of spending this summer, but they could balance the books next summer with Abraham’s sale.
From an Arsenal viewpoint, Tammy Abraham looks like the sort of player that would fit into Mikel Arteta’s model of blooding younger players. He is 23 and will only get better with experience.
The likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are at the wrong end of their careers. Youngster Eddie Nketiah has not yet proven he can play regularly at the top level either.
Abraham would likely thrive for the Gunners, with youngsters Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe and Nicolas Pepe a decent supply line.
If the move happens then it could turn out to be good for Arsenal and Abraham, although if he is successful the Blues may live to regret his sale.
