Kaveh Solhekol has told Sky Sports News that Chelsea would rather sell Arsenal target Tammy Abraham abroad than to another Premier League club as the Gunners prepare an offer.

Arsenal are battling Roma for the 23-year-old’s signature. The Blues are willing to let him go for £40 million, according to the Daily Mail.

Abraham fell out of favour at Stamford Bridge following Thomas Tuchel’s arrival. And it now seems that he is set to move.

According to Calciomercato, Roma are in talks with Chelsea about a potential deal for the England international.

But the report noted that Abraham wanted to stay in England and join Arsenal.

Unfortunately for the Gunners, it seems Chelsea would rather sell him elsewhere.

Solhekol told Sky Sports News that the Blues do not want him to join another Premier League side with Arsenal preparing an offer.

Can Arsenal blow Roma out of the water in race with Abraham offer?

Of course, Arsenal can boost their chances by bettering whatever Roma are prepared to pay.

There have been suggestions that Giallorossi are eyeing an initial loan. And that deal would pave the way for a £33 million move further down the line.

Perhaps Arsenal could offer more initially. Or they could make a permanent move immediately.

Obviously, much will depend on how desperate Mikel Arteta is to sign the forward.

Gianluca Di Marzio claimed he is their top striker target. So surely, they would not be best pleased to see him head elsewhere.
