Arsenal are planning a substantial transfer move to sign striker Tammy Abraham from Italian side Roma this summer, according to a report by The Star.
The England international, 24, has scored 24 goals for Jose Mourinho’s side in his debut Serie A season and could be the player that the Gunners target to fill the void left by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s exit earlier this year.
The striker won’t be leaving the Stadio Olimpico for a small fee though and that is why the North London club are said to be preparing a “lucrative” package with a transfer fee of £50m.
As reported by The Star, “Arsenal are set to renew their interest in former Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham during the summer transfer window following his 24-goal debut season under Jose Mourinho at Roma”.
The publication also claims that Gunners’ boss Mikel Arteta was “desperate” to sign the striker last summer before he opted for the move to Roma.
It is said that, at that time, Roma offered the player a better wage package and guaranteed regular game time in the first team – something the player “couldn’t refuse”.
If Arsenal can secure Champions League football for next season then they will be prepared to offer Roma £50m to bring the England international back to the Premier League.
