In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey revealed that Everton are targeting AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham for a summer transfer. The Toffees are keen to secure the English centre-forward as a potential replacement for Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the upcoming transfer window.
Abraham faced a challenging season with AS Roma, missing many games due to injuries. He participated in just 12 matches last season, scoring one goal and providing one assist across various competitions.
The 26-year-old primarily appeared as a substitute, averaging 0.5 shots, 0.4 key passes, and 0.3 dribbles per 90 minutes in Serie A. His passing accuracy in the opponent’s half was disappointing, with just 51.4% of his attempted passes completed (stats via whoscored).
Abraham’s current contract with Roma extends until the summer of 2026, making it difficult for Everton to bring him back to England cheaply.
Despite his struggles, Abraham can create space and opportunities for himself and his teammates. He has the vision to set up decent chances and is a competent dribbler when playing regularly and confidently.
Standing at 1.94 meters, the English forward is a strong aerial presence. However, he needs to improve his link-up play in the attacking third. If he can do so, he could add significant firepower to Everton’s attack.
Abraham is familiar with the Premier League and would likely adjust quickly to life back in England. Nevertheless, his recent injury history poses a risk for the Toffees in this transfer window.
As Abraham approaches his prime at 26, Everton should consider taking a chance on him. Bringing him to Goodison Park before the new Premier League season could prove beneficial for the club.
