Tammy Abraham Set for Premier League Return Amid Interest from Tottenham, Aston Villa, West Ham, and Everton
Former Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham appears poised to make a return to the Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, West Ham United, and Everton all expressing interest. As TEAMtalk exclusively reported at the start of June, Roma has listed the 26-year-old for sale.
Signed by Jose Mourinho in the summer of 2021, Abraham has made 119 appearances for Roma, scoring 37 goals. Despite suffering a serious knee injury this season, which stalled a potential move to Everton at the end of the 2022/23 season, his suitors in England remain undeterred.

Reports from Italy indicate that Everton has reignited their interest in Abraham, especially given the uncertainty surrounding their current number nine, Dominic Calvert-Lewin. However, Everton faces stiff competition from Tottenham, Aston Villa, and West Ham. Given Everton’s financial constraints due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, securing Abraham’s signature might be challenging for the Toffees.
Roma’s Perspective on Abraham’s Sale
According to the Italian outlet Corriere dello Sera, Roma is pleased with the Premier League interest in Abraham. Offloading the forward would save the club €6 million gross (€4.5 million net) per year in wages, freeing up funds and squad space for new signings. Although Mourinho had an excellent relationship with Abraham, the manager’s departure in January has seen the striker’s role diminish at the Stadio Olimpico.

Abraham’s Potential Premier League Move
Reports suggest that Abraham will find it hard to resist a return to the Premier League. Tottenham, Aston Villa, West Ham, and Everton are all actively vying for his services. Roma has reportedly set a €30 million (approx. £25.4 million) price tag on Abraham, hoping for a bidding war to maximize their return.
Club-Specific Scenarios
Tottenham Hotspur: Ange Postecoglou, the new Spurs manager, has prioritized signing a new striker this summer. Abraham has now emerged as a key target for the club.
Aston Villa: With the expected departure of Jhon Duran to Chelsea for around £40 million, Villa is looking at Abraham as a potential replacement. The addition of Abraham would bolster their attacking options.
West Ham United: Newly appointed manager Julen Lopetegui aims to strengthen his squad, and securing a proven striker like Abraham would be a strategic move to enhance the team’s offensive capabilities.
Everton: As long-term admirers of Abraham, Everton faces the challenge of making significant sales to fund the purchase. The club’s interest in Abraham aligns with their need to reinforce their attacking lineup.
Tammy Abraham’s anticipated return to the Premier League is drawing significant interest from several top-flight clubs. His proven track record, coupled with his current situation at Roma, makes him a highly sought-after asset. Tottenham, Aston Villa, West Ham, and Everton are all in the race, with each club offering unique opportunities and challenges. As the transfer window progresses, Abraham’s next destination will be a key storyline to watch, with Roma looking to benefit from a competitive auction for their star striker.
