Chelsea prepared to release star forward Premier League rivals

Arsenal are set to complete the signing of Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham who has fallen out of favour under Thomas Tuchel.

Tammy Abraham played an important role under Frank Lampard but the England international lost his place in the blues set up following the arrival of Thomas Tuchel.

Thomas Tuchel has preferred using Timo Werner who joined from RB Leipzig last summer with Oliver Giroud preferred as the second choice.

With Giroud’s deal to AC Milan already secured, Chelsea have been linked with Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.

A new report from Daily Express has now revealed that Tammy Abraham will be completing a move to Arsenal in the next few days.

The Daily Express claimed that Abraham has been offered a pay rise at Arsenal as his wage demands of £125,000 per week will be an uplift on his £80,000 per week Chelsea salary.

There are reports that Arsenal are willing to let go of Alexandre Lacazette in a bid to open up space for Abraham and reduce the club’s wage bill.
