DEAL POSSIBLE: Arsenal still interested in former Chelsea striker with possible deal this January

La Repubblica, via RomaPress, had claimed that Arsenal alongside Manchester United still interested in the signature of AS Roma centre-forward Tammy Abraham.

The former Chelsea star has enjoyed a stellar 2021/22 campaign with the Serie A giants, bagging 27 goals across all competitions as Roma won the inaugural edition of the UEFA European Conference League.

He is now tipped to make a good replacement for Gabriel Jesus who is injured so as to press on for the season’s title challenge.

Meanwhile, Abraham’s old comments also suggest that a return to England to join Arsenal won’t be an issue for him if the right bid is submitted and the Serie A outfit is willing to sell.

Speaking about his childhood to Eurosport in 2017, he said: “To be honest I was an Arsenal fan.

“When you’re young and you choose who to support, if it’s a family thing, it’s a family thing. Luckily for me, it was a family thing, so it wasn’t really a problem at Chelsea.

“Someone I looked up to was Thierry Henry. His variations of finishing, his movement, the way he dribbles.

“Someone like that has a key impact on me. I would love to be as big as him and maybe even better.”
