West Ham have made an offer close to what Roma want for striker Tammy Abraham, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
The reliable Italian journalist reported on 25 August that the English forward is on high wages at the Serie A club.
The 26-year-old is understood to be open to leaving this summer and the Hammers are aiming to secure a deadline-busting transfer.
Tammy Abraham would be a quality signing for West Ham
Abraham’s Premier League experience with Chelsea means he’s already adapted to the pace and physicality of English football, reducing the risk of a lengthy adjustment period.
His height and physical presence make him an ideal target man, capable of holding up the ball and linking play, which could see him be a good fit in Julen Lopetegui’s system.
At 26, it means he’s entering his prime years as a striker, potentially offering West Ham both immediate impact and long-term value.
Additionally, his experience in European competitions, including winning the Champions League, adds a level of big-game temperament that could be vital for the Hammers’ ambitions as they would aim to qualify for Europe.
Whether or not they can pull this one off, remains to be seen, as there will be a number of clubs vying for his services.
Time is running out so the Irons have to act quickly and look to agree personal terms with him.
