Newcastle United are among the clubs interested in signing Tammy Abraham from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.
West Ham United, Aston Villa and Southampton are also interested in the England international striker, according to the report.
Abraham reportedly wants a new contract worth £180,000 per week, but Chelsea are not ready to offer him that much and are willing to sell him this summer.
Good signing for Newcastle United?
Abraham is not having the best of times at Chelsea at the moment and is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup.
However, the 23-year-old is a very good striker who knows the Premier League inside out and has been a success in the division.
According to WhoScored, Abraham has scored six goals and provided one assist in 12 Premier League starts and has scored one goal and provided one assist in three Champions League starts for the Blues this season.
During the 2019-20 campaign, the 23-year-old scored 15 goals and provided three assists in 25 league starts and scored three goals and gave one assist in seven Champions League starts for Chelsea, according to WhoScored.
Callum Wilson is the first-choice striker at Newcastle, and Abraham – described as “unbelievable” by Aston Villa attacking midfielder Jack Grealish during an Instagram Q&A last year when asked about the England international – would make the Magpies stronger in attack.
