Tammy Abraham could be offered a route back to the Premier League this summer, with a number of clubs keeping an eye on the striker’s situation.

Roma are braced for bids for former Chelsea striker Abraham, who has returned to fitness after 10 months out with a knee injury.

West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are all in the market for strikers this summer, and are all aware Abraham could be attainable.

Spurs have not made a firm decision on whether or not to move for Abraham yet, while Villa are only likely to start seriously trying to fill the position if Jhon Duran completes a move to Chelsea.

There is interest from Abraham from clubs elsewhere in Europe and the 26-year-old is expected to be presented with a series of options.

Abraham scored as a substitute after coming back from his long-term injury and has proved himself to be prolific at different times in his career in Italy and England.

During a season on loan at Villa, Abraham scored 26 goals in 40 games before returning to Chelsea and netting 18 goals and then 12 goals in a campaign in which he was sidelined by Thomas Tuchel ahead of being sold to Roma.

In his first campaign in Italy, Abraham scored a career-best 27 goals in 53 games, before netting nine times in his second season.

Abraham has two years remaining on his Roma contract and has won 11 England caps, scoring three goals for his country.

Sources in Italy believe that Abraham could be available for around £20 million, which could represent excellent value in a summer in which so many clubs are restricted by profit and sustainability rules.

But there is not yet thought to be a set price for the striker with Roma facing their own financial fair play issues and potentially needing to raise cash.

Romelu Lukaku’s season-long loan has finished and Roma cannot currently afford to pay Chelsea’s £37 million valuation.
