Simon Jordan has said on talkSPORT (11:56am, June 29, 2021) that Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham will not join Aston Villa.
The former Crystal Palace chairman believes that Abraham will find a club who are closer to the Premier League top six than Villa.
Aston Villa interest
The Mirror reported this month that Villa are interested in signing the England international striker from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
The Villans are reportedly ready to spend £40 million to bring the 23-year-old England international striker to Villa Park.
What Simon Jordan says
Jordan said on talkSPORT (11:56am, June 29, 2021): “Tammy Abraham, I don’t think, will go to Aston Villa. With due respect, I don’t think he will.
“I think he will look for a side probably more nearer the top six and I think he is capable of it.”
Could Tammy Abraham join Aston Villa?
Abraham had a loan spell at Villa in 2018-19 and helped the club win promotion to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old scored 26 goals and gave three assists in 40 Championship games for the Villans that season.
The youngster knows how Villa manager Dean Smith works, and he could be tempted to return to Villa Park.
Yes, Ollie Watkins joined the Villans last summer, but Smith could play two strikers upfront.
Villa are an ambitious club who will aim to at least push for the Premier League top six next season.
