Arsenal legend reveals Chelsea may struggle to offload Tammy Abraham to the Gunners this summer

Chelsea are willing to let go of Tammy Abraham this summer with the England international failing to play an important role under Thomas Tuchel.

Arsenal are one clubs willing to aquire his service but both clubs have not been able to agree a transfer fee as Chelsea are eager to get £40m.

However, Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn has insisted that the Gunners won’t pay £40m for his services -given the amount of attacking talent they have at the Emirates already.

Speaking with Goal, Winterburn stated that Abraham will certainly fit the bill of recent Arsenal signings, young with a point to prove.

However, it’s a matter of consistency as Winterburn asked if Abraham is going to get a run in a team if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is playing well.

Probably not unless Aubameyang can be switched to the left-hand side – although you then need to leave out either Nicolas Pepe or Bukayo Saka.

The former Arsenal star noted that wiith Abraham, there’s potential there and development for a young, young player.

So, he think it’s an option for Arsenal, although with Alexandre Lacazette being linked with a move away, it could be just a name that has been thrown into a hat.
