English Premier League side West Ham United have confirmed their interest in Roma striker Tammy Abraham and are interested in recruiting him for a fee of around €20 million, according to Lorenzo Pes, a journalist from leading Italian media outlet La Stampa. The news adds another potential deal to the recent transfer market.
Abraham's future at Roma remains uncertain at the moment. Although he has recovered from his injury, Abraham's position in the team has become less secure with the addition of new signing Patrick Dovbic, who has been seen as one of the players available for sale. Previously, Abraham has been rumored to be on the move with a number of clubs including AC Milan and Bournemouth, but no substantial progress has been made yet.
West Ham United's interest in Abraham is mainly due to their need to strengthen their forward line. With veteran Antonio reaching the end of his career and failing to live up to expectations in the early games of the season, West Ham United boss Lopetegui is in dire need of a new striker to bolster the team's attacking firepower. Abraham, as a young and powerful striker, has naturally become their preferred target.
It is reported that Roma's asking price for Abraham is 20 million euros. If this deal can be successfully reached, Rome will be able to recover part of the investment in Abraham, and reduce the team's wage burden. West Ham United will be able to obtain a strong, high potential striker, injecting new vitality into the team's offensive end.
Since joining Roma from Chelsea in the summer of 2021 for a transfer fee of around €41 million, Abraham has quickly become an important part of the team. In all competitions for Roma, he has made 120 appearances and scored 37 goals. His outstanding performance has not only helped Roma achieve remarkable results in many seasons, but also made him gradually emerge in the European soccer world.
