West Ham are prepared to offer £25million to secure the signing of Tammy Abraham, with Roma reportedly ready to accept the offer once it is formally submitted, as reported by Il Romanista.
The Italian outlet stated on their website that there has been recent movement in the Premier League regarding the potential transfer of the English forward.
The Hammers are said to be planning to shift their focus away from pursuing Jhon Duran from Aston Villa and are instead looking to make an offer to Roma that would be agreeable to all parties involved.
Having already acquired Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund, West Ham are now eyeing a move for Abraham, the former Chelsea striker.
The club had initially targeted Duran as their primary option to reinforce their striker options this summer. However, negotiations with his club proved to be challenging, leading the club to secure a deal for Fullkrug instead.
While the addition of Fullkrug has alleviated some pressure in the striker position, West Ham are willing to part ways with Danny Ings in order to reduce their wage bill. With Michail Antonio aging and lacking adequate backup, the addition of Abraham could provide valuable depth in the attacking department.
As West Ham continue to make significant signings during this transfer window, they may need to offload players such as Ings and Kurt Zouma to balance their finances.
The club’s active transfer window is expected to continue, with further business likely to be conducted throughout the rest of the month.
