Arsenal and West Ham United are at the risk of losing out on Tammy Abraham as Atalanta are taking big strides to sign the Chelsea forward.
Recently, it was reported that the Serie A side have registered an interest in the forward since they could lose Duvan Zapata to Inter Milan. And now according to Fabrizio Romano, Atalanta are about to hold a meeting with Chelsea over the possibility of signing Tammy Abraham.
He wrote on Twitter: “Atalanta board have a meeting scheduled in London with Chelsea in the next 48 hours to ask for Tammy Abraham as main target.
“Price tag around €40m. Arsenal and West Ham interested too.
“Atalanta gonna bid for Tammy if Inter will ask for Duván Zapata as Lukaku replacement.”

Tammy Abraham heading to Atalanta?
Atalanta are showing some real intent to sign the Chelsea forward but until Arsenal and West Ham United remain interested, the Italians will remain at the bottom of the pecking order.
Arsenal and West Ham are both based out of London so the forward will not only get to play in the Premier League but he won’t even have to move out of his current city if he joins either of these two sides.
But having said that, the two North London sides are yet to make any sort of concrete move for the 23-year-old.
While the Hammers are pondering over his £40 million transfer fee, Arsenal are still trying to convince Inter Milan to sell Lautaro Martinez.
This could as a big catalyst for Tammy Abraham to change his mind and agree to try his luck in the Serie A next season.
And once Chelsea finalize the signing of Romelu Lukaku, they won’t really care if he remains in the Premier League or joins Atalanta.
