According to the Mirror, Tammy Abraham is keen on a move to West Ham this summer, amid interest from Everton and Aston Villa.

What’s the story?

Well, the report claims that Chelsea are considering a move for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Håland.

As part of their bid to land the prolific Norwegian, Thomas Tuchel is thinking about including Abraham in a player-plus-cash offer.

However, the England international – who Gary Lineker called a ‘proper poacher‘ – would seemingly prefer to stay in the Premier League.

Aston Villa’s interest in Abraham is mention in the Mirror‘s report.

Elsewhere, it was 90min who claimed that Everton are keen on the 23-year-old, who has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge under Tuchel.

In our view, Abraham would become one of the Premier League’s best strikers at the London Stadium.

The £57,692-a-week man would have the likes of Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen providing for him.

That in itself is a mouthwatering prospect.

Also, he could be partnered up top with Michail Antonio, who creates plenty of space for his teammates with his selfless runs into the channels.

Add in the fact that Abraham is already living in London, and this deal seems too sensible for the Irons not to complete.

With Europa League football on the horizon, this would be a huge statement signing from the east Londoners.
