Despite claims that Arsenal are interested in signing Tammy Abraham from AS Roma a season after he joined them, the English striker is going nowhere.
That’s because he’s enjoying himself in Italy, where he has become the star of the show in Rome under José Mourinho.
The 24-year-old has scored 15 goals in 34 Serie A appearances this season (24 goals in all competitions), as well as picked up four assists, which are stats Arsenal could do with up front.
Having already lost Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona in January and potentially about to see Alexandre Lacazette leave on a free, the Gunners are going to need a new goalscorer this summer.
The website, however, state he has ‘no intention of moving’, and Roma ‘take no idea into consideration other than the one of keeping him’.
Despite Chelsea having a clause to buy him back set at €80m in 2023, the belief is he has already reached that mark, and could be worth even more in the near future.
That’s why there are already ‘internal talks and strategies underway’ to find a way to keep him beyond that at a point when the Blues ‘will have defined their new corporate structure’.
This means Arsenal, if they were aiming for the England international, will likely have to look elsewhere for a new goalscorer.
