AS Roma general managed Tiago Pinto will travel to London to hold talks over Arsenal target Tammy Abraham.
What’s the story?
According to the Athletic, the Italian club’s chief will arrive in the capital over the next 48 hours.
Roma have agreed on a permanent deal with a buy-back clause for the Chelsea striker. However, the England international is holding out on making a decision.
The Giallorossi want an answer by this weekend or they may move on to other targets, claims David Ornstein.
Arsenal have agreed on personal terms with the player. However, they have to sell two centre-forwards first.
Arsenal receive good news as Roma travel to London
There is some good news on the recent update on the 23-year-old.
Arsenal will receive news on whether they are likely to sign Abraham this weekend as Roma travel to London.
The last thing Mikel Arteta wants is the saga to drag on into the final days of the transfer window.
Arsenal are desperately in need of other reinforcements all over the pitch. A back-up goalkeeper, number 10 and right-back are still priorities this summer.
However, should the potential transfer drag on, it would leave the club in a hazardous position.
The upcoming campaign is important for the Gunners as they look to kick on. However, signings are important if Arsenal want to improve on last season’s eighth-placed finish.
Abraham is one potential move that could be concluded sooner rather than later.
