According Sports Journal, West Ham United are interested in signing another striker before the transfer The window closes on Friday night.
The Hammers have had an impressive summer and have already strengthened their attacking strength with the signing of Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund. Despite this, they are still in the transfer market in search of another centre-forward and Sports Journal They claim to be interested in Abraham.
The same source claims that Roma are interested in paying between £19.5m and £21m for the 26-year-old. Meanwhile, today's print edition of Corriere dello Sport (via Sports witness) add that the Hammers have not submitted an official offer.

Possible agreement
West Ham got off to a good start Premier League This season, Abraham won 2-0 at Crystal Palace. Michail Antonio started up front for the Hammers and Fullkrug replaced him. Danny Ings is the other senior striker in the team and could be a strong candidate to leave if Abraham moves to east London.
The English international joined the Giallorossi from Chelsea for 34 million pounds Three years ago, he made a fine debut with 27 goals, but the following season he only scored 9. In the last Serie A match he suffered a serious knee injury that kept him off the pitch for 10 months.
Abraham played second fiddle to Romelu Lukaku upon his return in April this year. He has a similar role this season, with manager Daniele De Rossi preferring Artem Dovbyk. This could prompt him to seek a new challenge and we wouldn't be surprised if West Ham approached.
Abraham, who won the Champions League With Chelsea in 2021, he has the qualities to succeed in the Premier League. He has a good aerial presence in and around the box and can also link plays effectively. He is more of a natural number nine but can make runs in behind defences with great speed.
The former Chelsea man could be a smart acquisition for the Hammers. A loan deal with a conditional obligation to buy makes sense. That way, the Hammers can assess whether the striker can regain his goalscoring form after recovering from a long-term knee injury.
