Chelsea are reportedly in advanced talks with Aston Villa to part ways with Tammy Abraham in a deal that could go up to €45 million.
According to Rudy Galetti, Aston Villa are stepping up their efforts to land Tammy Abraham in the summer transfer window. The Villans are in advanced talks with Chelsea over a deal for the English striker, with an offer worth €45 million in the works at Villa Park.
Tammy Abraham joined Chelsea at the under-eight level in 2004 and made fine progress in the Blues’ youth setup before breaking into their first-team squad in 2016. However, it was not until the 2019/20 season, under the tutelage of Frank Lampard, that the 23-year-old finally established a foothold in the Chelsea first-team.
During this period, he also became a full-fledged English international, only for his fortunes to plummet after just one fine season. In fact, 2020/21 was a forgettable campaign for Abraham, who started just 18 matches across all competitions, although he still had a fine tally of 12 goals and six assists to show for his efforts.
However, with Thomas Tuchel barely utilising him in the second half of the season, Abraham is hell-bent on leaving Chelsea to seek a new challenge in his career. His next destination could be a club he is familiar with, as Aston Villa are eager to make a move for the Englishman.
The interest from Aston Villa is interesting, considering Ollie Watkins enjoyed a stunning debut campaign this past term. Despite that, though, the Midlands outfit appear to be keen on signing a striker yet again this summer, perhaps owing to Wesley’s struggles since sustaining his long-term knee issue.
Aston Villa are, in fact, set to make a big move for Abraham, with a club-record bid in the works. And as per Rudy Galetti, the Villans are preparing a bid worth up to €45 million, with Chelsea in advanced talks with the club over a possible summer transfer.
Galetti has also added that Abraham could well leave Chelsea soon, which does put Aston Villa in a strong position heading into the summer transfer window. It now remains to be seen if a €45 million bid is enough for the Midlands club to swoop Tammy Abraham away from the Blues this summer.
If Tammy does come back to Villa he will be treated properly and has every chance of getting his England place back, but best of all he will become a club legend he is already a fans favourite.
On a personal note given Dean Smiths interest in signing him I believe he would play upfront alongside Ollie Watkins.
Bring it on for me he’s a great player and with Buendia we will have a formidable strike force, something that we have been lacking
GOOD
