Abraham Agrees Personal Terms with Arsenal, Roma Still the Race

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has reportedly agreed personal terms with Arsenal despite links with a move to Roma.

The 23-year-old fell out of favour under Thomas Tuchel last season and will struggle for game even more at Stamford Bridge next term with the arrival of Romelu Lukaku.

With Edin Dzeko thought to be heading to Inter Milan as a replacement for Lukaku, a transfer merry-go-round will supposedly see Abraham head to Roma to fill the void left by the Bosnian.

Roma have supposedly agreed a £34m fee to sign Abraham, but according to Italian outlet Il Messaggero, the Englishman has already agreed on the personal side of a deal with Arsenal.

However, the Gunners are not said to have approached Chelsea with an official offer for the forward as they first look to offload Alexandre Lacazette, who is also thought to be on Roma’s radar.

Meanwhile, Chelsea Manager, Thomas Tuchel, said he understood Abraham’s frustration over his lack of playing time last season and took some responsibility for it.

“I can absolutely understand that he wants more minutes. So the decision will be ‘how do we plan, what are Tammy’s plans, does he fight his way back into the team from the position where he ended last season or does he want to change club to have the chance of being a regular starter?'”
