Tottenham want Tammy Abraham as they chase a deal that Mauricio Pochettino couldn’t quite secure back in the summer of 2018.
Spurs pounced to sign a new striker over the summer with Richarlison arriving in a big-money move from Everton.
Tottenham may still be in the market for a striker though, with lingering concerns over Harry Kane’s future still present.
Antonio Conte would no doubt love more goalscorers in this Tottenham squad and an interesting link has emerged in Italy.
Tottenham want Tammy Abraham
Corriere dello Sport report that Tottenham and Aston Villa are both interested in signing Roma striker Tammy Abraham.
It’s suggested that Abraham is facing an uncertain future at Roma and he could chase a return to England in 2023.
Tottenham are keen to lure Abraham back to London and this isn’t the first time he has been linked with Spurs.
Back in 2018, Goal reported that Tottenham had launched a £25million transfer deadline day bid for Abraham.
Mauricio Pochettino allegedly picked out Abraham as the man he wanted to support Harry Kane.
Sadly for Pochettino and Tottenham, Chelsea refused to sell to their London rivals.
Tottenham remarkably went through the 2018 summer without making a signing and Abraham appeared to be Pochettino’s last roll of the dice.
That decision paid off in a sense for Chelsea as they ended up selling for £9million more, agreeing a £34million deal with Roma last year.
Tottenham may have moved on from Pochettino but their interest in Abraham remains and they may now hope to succeed where they once failed.
Abraham, 25, has struggled this season with just four goals in 21 appearances for Roma.
The England international did though excel last season, smashing 27 goals in 53 outings to show his goalscoring talents.
A move to Tottenham feels pretty unlikely unless there are real fears about Kane, but Spurs could end up going for the striker Pochettino wanted in a ridiculous summer.
