Fabrizio Romano says Leicester are keen on Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham

By Lee Connor

Leicester City could make a move for Chelsea star Tammy Abraham this summer, with the Blues open to selling the England forward.

That is according to transfer guru and respected journalist, Fabrizio Romano, who claims the Foxes are now one of the clubs who have set their sights on landing Abraham this summer.

Abraham has been somewhat harshly left out of proceedings by Thomas Tuchel. However, Chelsea have been doing well and have made it the semis of the Champions League, so the forward can have no complaints.

But Abraham is said to want first-team football and now it seems Chelsea could be willing to do business. West Ham are also monitoring Abraham, as reported by multiple sources this week.

The striker, 23, has made six appearances for England and has scored six PL goals this season for Chelsea. After thriving at Bristol City on loan and then Aston Villa, Abraham has gone from strength to strength.

However, his progress has stalled under Tuchel and a move could very much be on the cards now.

TBR View: Abraham a worthy signing for anyone, he’d fit in well at Leicester

There’s no doubting that Tammy Abraham would be a good signing for so many clubs. Leicester are no exception, and they may end up being able to offer him Champions League football too.

Abraham is a goalscorer and a presence. On his day, he can be unplayable. But he needs to be playing, and Chelsea clearly don’t see him fitting in as things stand.

A move to Leicester, then, is probably as good a move as he could hope for.
