Everton is reportedly set to compete with Tottenham and Newcastle United for the signing of 26-year-old English striker Tammy Abraham from AS Roma this summer.
Graeme Bailey of TBR Football reports that Everton is keenly interested in Abraham, aiming to strengthen their attack during the summer transfer window. However, they will face significant competition from Tottenham and Newcastle United for the AS Roma forward.
Abraham quickly established himself as one of Serie A’s top strikers after moving from Chelsea to AS Roma in August 2021. He had an impressive 2021/22 season, playing a crucial role in helping the Giallorossi secure the UEFA Europa Conference League title. However, his form has since declined.
Over the past two years, the 26-year-old has struggled with consistency in the starting lineup and has been hampered by a long-term knee injury. This has limited him to just 642 minutes of play across 24 appearances in all competitions, during which he contributed two goals and two assists.
Given his recent challenges and loss of a regular starting spot, Abraham may be considering a return to England this summer. He has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, with Everton now joining Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United in the pursuit to sign him from AS Roma.
Everton’s interest in Abraham is understandable due to uncertainties surrounding Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future. Recent reports suggest Calvert-Lewin could move to Chelsea, and contract negotiations have stalled. Consequently, Everton is looking to invest in a new striker, making Abraham a promising candidate.
Tottenham, on the other hand, are also in the market for a new striker after failing to replace Harry Kane adequately. Abraham, therefore, presents a viable option for Spurs. Newcastle United is similarly interested, potentially viewing Abraham as a replacement for Callum Wilson, who might leave the club this summer.
As a result, Everton will face stiff competition from Tottenham and Newcastle United for the 26-year-old striker’s services.
