Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham has been tipped to move out of Stamford Bridge during the ongoing transfer window and as per Nigel Winterburn, the 23-year-old will fit in well at Arsenal.
‘Arsenal have been linked with Tammy Abraham from Chelsea. He certainly would fit the bill of recent Arsenal signings, young with a point to prove,’ Winterburn told Goal.
‘People will question his consistency but what you want is for these young players to get a run in the team.
‘Is he going to get a run in a team if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is playing well? Probably not unless Aubameyang can be switched to the left-hand side – although you then need to leave out either Nicolas Pepe or Bukayo Saka.
‘With Abraham, there’s potential there and development for a young, young player. So, I think it’s an option that Arsenal, although with Alexandre Lacazette being linked with a move away, it could be just a name that has been thrown into a hat.’
Can Arsenal sign Tammy Abraham before West Ham United?
Arsenal are not the only club who have been linked with the Chelsea forward as West Ham United are also eager to bring him on board.
David Moyes wants to add depth to his attacking department now that the Hammers will be playing in Europe and the 23-year-old forward happens to be one of the top priority signings for the London side.

The Gunners will need to get rid of Lacazette or else they stand no chance at signing Tammy Abraham and now that Chelsea have lowered their demands, West Ham United will not be ready to back off.
The Hammers are also looking at other possible centre-forwards should they miss out on Abraham but right now, Arsenal are finding it really hard to get rid of Nketiah and Lacazette. And until the Gunners can clear up space, West Ham will not give up hope.
