Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is open to moving to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer transfer window, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
What’s the story?
SkySport journalist Di Marzio has reported on his website that Abraham is ‘enticed’ by Arsenal.
If the striker has to leave Chelsea this summer, then Arsenal would be his first choice.
The 2021 Champions League winners are on the verge of signing Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan.
So, Abraham would fall further down the pecking order, and Chelsea are ready to sell the former Aston Villa loanee for €40 million (£33.90m).
Arsenal are interested in the youngster.
However, two other clubs are keen on securing the services of the 23-year-old – Atalanta and AS Roma.
Encouraging for Arsenal
It is very encouraging for Arsenal that Abraham considers the Gunners as his first-choice club should he leave Chelsea.
This means that for Arsenal to sign the striker this summer, they simply need to pay what Chelsea want for him.
Agreeing on personal terms is unlikely to be a huge problem.
Abraham has scored 26 goals in 89 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The England international striker could prove to be a very good signing for Arsenal, not just for now, but in the long run as well.
