Tony Cascarino told talkSPORT that Tammy Abraham needs to leave Chelsea following those Arsenal rumours.
The former Republic of Ireland international thinks Abraham could become the ‘complete player’ at Arsenal if he improves his hold up play.
Every summer, it seems as though Arsenal are bringing someone over from Stamford Bridge and it seems as though they are heading down that road once more.
Abraham is attracting interest from Arsenal after falling down the pecking order in West London.
Cascarino shared that he cannot see him staying put at Chelsea, but understands that the Arsenal faithful might not get excited by his potential arrival.
“I don’t see him staying at Chelsea now,” said Cascarino. “Calvert-Lewin and Ollie Watkins have gone ahead of him. He has fallen down the pecking order for England.
On Arsenal wanting to sign him: “Arsenal fans would be, they are never that keen on taking Chelsea players – I don’t think they’ll get excited about that.
“I think Tammy will give them a physical presence, leads the line well and will chip in with goals.
“I think if you can keep Lacazette and Aubameyang then you are going to get three players who will get goals regularly in whatever way you want to use them – his hold up play has to improve then you will have a much more complete player.”
Abraham, 23, is a penalty box striker, who has high-class movement, quick-thinking ability, calmness and efficiency inside the box.
Arsenal have poacher-like players within their squad already – Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, although he is also a ball carrier and can play out wide.
Then there’s academy product, Eddie Nketiah, who has stagnated during these past 12 months.
Either way, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Arsenal fans aren’t happy with their club pushing for another Chelsea player this summer.
