Some Arsenal fans were reacting after a report about Tammy Abraham emerged.

What’s the story?

According to Il Messaggero, the Chelsea ace has agreed on personal terms with the Gunners.

The news will come as a blow to AS Roma, who have allegedly agreed on a loan deal with an obligation to buy Abraham worth €40m (£34.4m).

But it seems the player is keen on staying in London with the Gunners, who he supported growing up.

More recent reports have claimed the player will make a decision after Chelsea’s Super Cup clash against Villarreal.

Letting Abraham slip through their grasp would be bitterly disappointing, but the club need backup targets.
