Arsenal leading the race to sign Chelsea striker

Arsenal are supposedly set to win the race to sign forward Tammy Abraham on loan from London rivals Chelsea this summer.

The England international has fallen pecking order since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel in January, and the Premier League giants are ready to allow him to leave this summer.

Chelsea are hoping to raise funds from player deals as they endeavor to bring their main target Erling Braut Haaland to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea value Abraham at £40m, however Arsenal and other potential admirers are not ready to match this figure.

In any case, a potential loan deal with an option to buy is to be discussed with the Gunners, who have moved ahead of Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United for the 23-year-old, as per The Sun.

Tammy Abraham has two years remaining on his current contract, scored 12 goals and six assists in 32 appearances for Chelsea last season.
