Report: Hammers could move for Chelsea striker
The article says there will be a host of clubs including Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and potentially also Liverpool and Spurs, looking his availability this summer.
Outside the traditional big clubs, West Ham, Leicester City, Brighton and Southampton have also been linked.
Abraham has made it consistently clear that he ideally wants to stay at Chelsea, where he graduated from the academy, and become the club’s recognised striker for the rest of his career. But the club is yet to make a solid commitment to him, aside from activating the one-year extension option on his last contract that saw his wages increase to around £80,000-a-week.
That is below the market rate for an England international striker and some way short of the £120,000-a-week contract Chelsea handed to Callum Hudson-Odoi in September 2019 to help fight off interest from Bayern Munich.
Tuchel’s handling of him so far would suggest the German is currently unsure of Abraham’s ability, despite the fact he is Chelsea’s top scorer.
