Tottenham Hotspur finished fifth last season in the Premier league but they are supporting Ange Postecoglou in the current transfer window while they wait to get a Champions League dock next season.
Signing a striker is high on their list of priorities and AS Roma's Tammy Abraham is among the players on their shortlist. According to GiveMeSportBut there will be competition for their signatures from people like West Ham, Aston Villa and Everton.
West Ham specifically find themselves in direct competition with Spurs, the report adds, as they look to sign a replacement for Michail Antonio in the coming weeks.
According to the report, Roma value the 26-year-old at around £25m and Tottenham Hotspur will need to beat off several suitors, including local rivals West Ham, to buy him before the transfer window ends.
Abraham would bring goalscoring pedigree to Spurs
Tottenham need to find a regular source of goals. Last season they were noticeably weak in attack, although this is understandable given the departure of Harry Kane.
While Timo Werner's loan in north London has been extended until next season, Spurs still require a physical presence in the box and the signing of Abraham would fit that bill.
He is an experienced striker in the Premier League since his Chelsea He maintained his tenure and scored 18 goals in his first season in west London.
He later repeated his numbers as a Barça player with AS Roma by scoring 27 goals in all competitions under the tutelage of José Mourinho.
An anterior cruciate ligament injury has hampered his progress in Serie A, but despite his young age, the player has huge potential and could be offered a new lease of life if he joins Tottenham for around £25m.
According to GMS, he is keen to sign for a club that plays in European competitions, so Spurs and Villa will be confident that they are the favourites to sign him, ahead of Everton and West Ham.
Between the two, Tottenham will be able to offer him a better financial package and a permanent place in the team. Meanwhile, Abraham would have to compete for minutes with Ollie Watkins at Villa Park.
So far, those interested have only been described as “enthusiastic”, but with Roma and Abraham looking to go their separate ways soon, a return to England could be just around the corner for the striker.
