West Ham are set to open talks to sign 23-yr-old attacker next week – originally posted on Sportslens.com

West Ham United remain keen on signing the Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham this summer.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the Hammers have now prioritized the signing of the 23-year-old and they will open talks to sign the player next week.

Abraham has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea and he needs to leave the London club in order to play regular first-team football. Timo Werner was preferred over him last season and the Blues are reportedly looking at attacking reinforcements this summer.

The 23-year-old made just 22 appearances (12 starts) for Chelsea in the Premier League last season.

The young striker has scored 30 goals in the last two seasons with the Blues and he could prove to be a smart signing for the Hammers.

David Moyes needs to improve his attacking options and Abraham will add quality and depth to the position alongside Michail Antonio.

West Ham will be competing in the Europa League next season and they will need a deeper squad to do well in the Premier League as well as in the European competition.

Apparently, the Hammers want to sign the young striker on loan with an option to buy.

Chelsea will probably be hoping to offload him permanently so that they can raise funds for their own signings.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few days.

Abraham needs to join a club where he will be a regular starter and the Hammers could certainly provide him with that platform.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Aston Villa in recent months as well and it will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually.
