West Ham United boss David Moyes feels that £25 million would be a fair price for Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham, the Daily Mail say.

West Ham have made Abraham one of their top strike targets heading into the summer.

However, Chelsea’s £40 million price-tag could be prohibitive for the Hammers.

Indeed, the Mail say that Moyes feels that Abraham is being £15 million overpriced by Chelsea.

Unless there is a compromise any deal, therefore, looks unlikely.

Disappointing news?

That could be a disappointment to some West Ham fans, who were enthused by the prospect of seeing Abraham in their shirt.

For all West Ham’s strength this term, their lack of a natural goalscorer is a clear weakness in their squad.

Michail Antonio currently leads the line and his power can cause defences all kinds of problems, but he is not a ruthless finisher in front of goal.

Abraham, on the other hand, prides himself on being a penalty box predator.

And if West Ham can haggle with Chelsea to bring his price down then he could be a valuable addition for next season.
