Report: Tammy Abraham now open to Roma move; could chose them over Arsenal

Despite an apparent preference to move to Arsenal this summer, it seems Tammy Abraham could actually end up choosing to move to Roma.

The Gunners and Jose Mourinho are reportedly locked in a battle to land Abraham, who Chelsea value at around the £40m mark. As per those reports, though, it was claimed Abraham was pushing for the Arsenal move more than Roma.

However, in a fresh twist, Italian website has claimed that Roma have made inroads when it comes to Abraham, and are growing confident they can indeed land him ahead of the Gunners.

says that Roma chief Tiago Pinto is to prolong his stay in London in order to keep working on the deal.

It’s claimed Pinto is encouraged by what he’s seeing and hearing from Abraham and his camp. The Chelsea man, it seems, is increasingly open to the move.

With Arsenal losing miserably at Brentford last night, the need for new players is clear. Abraham, then, has a big call to make here.

Losing out again?

Is this the story of Arsenal’s summer? They get linked to players, seem to come close to a deal, then get blown out of the water by someone else.

Losing out on Abraham to Roma would be a bitter pill to swallow. The Gunners need a focal point in attack, they simply don’t have one. At £40m, Abraham isn’t costing the world, and would add to the XI.

Jose Mourinho must be laughing to himself here. If he pips Arsenal to the Abraham, then Gunners will, understandably, be questioning Edu again.
