The striker has spent this seasons on loan with Aston Villa.
According to a report from the Sun, Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig are waiting to see whether Aston Villa gain promotion this season, before making a £25 million swoop for their on-loan striker Tammy Abraham.
The 21-year-old joined the Villans on loan from Chelsea last summer, and he has gone on to be a real hit at Villa Park, racking up 26 goals in 39 appearances in all competitions for Dean Smith’s side thus far.
Aston Villa will obviously want to sign Abraham on a permanent basis this summer, but should they fail to gain promotion, they might be blown out of the water by Leipzig.
The Sun claims that Leipzig are readying a £25 million bid for the Chelsea hitman, and they suggest that the German outfit will be confident of securing his signature, if Villa fail to go up this term.
Dean Smith will still undoubtedly do all he can to make the striker’s move to Aston Villa a permanent one, but in the back of his mind, he will probably know that he needs to guide his side back to the Premier League, in order to make that a realistic possibility.
