Leeds United could be making a big move in the summer transfer window as reports link them to Roma striker Tammy Abraham.
The English forward has openly spoken about his admiration for Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, and now, he might be on his way to Elland Road.
Leeds Looking for Striker Ahead of Summer
Leeds United are in a strong position in the Championship table as they aim for automatic promotion back to the Premier League.
With just a few months left in the season, plans for summer transfers are already taking shape.
One of the names being talked about is Tammy Abraham. The 27-year-old striker, currently on loan at AC Milan from Roma, is expected to leave the Italian club at the end of the season.
Reports suggest that Roma have put a price tag of around £21 million on him, making him an attractive option for clubs looking for a proven goal scorer.
Abraham Could Be a Bargain Signing for Leeds
Abraham moved to Roma from Chelsea in 2021 for £34 million. However, things have not gone as planned for him in Italy.
Despite showing flashes of his talent, he has struggled for consistency, and AC Milan, where he is currently on loan, are reportedly not interested in making his move permanent.
This has opened the door for clubs like Leeds United, who are searching for a top striker to strengthen their squad.
With Abraham having Premier League experience and a strong goal-scoring record, he could be a key signing for the Whites.
Abraham Grew Up Watching Thierry Henry
One of the most interesting facts about Tammy Abraham is his admiration for Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
Speaking in past interviews, Abraham revealed that Henry was his childhood hero and that watching him play made him want to become a striker.
“My family were big Arsenal fans, and I grew up watching a lot of Arsenal games. Thierry Henry was my idol. It was watching him that made me want to be a striker. I still try to copy some of his moves,” Abraham once said.
Leeds fans will remember Henry well, especially after his goal against them in the FA Cup during his return to Arsenal in 2012.
Now, they might have a striker who looks up to him leading their attack.
Competition for Abraham’s Signature
While Leeds United are linked with a move for Abraham, they are not the only club interested.
Aston Villa are also reportedly looking at the striker, which could drive up his price.
At £21 million, Abraham would be a great signing for Leeds, but if more clubs join the race, the price could increase.
Leeds United will have to act fast if they want to secure his signature.
As the Championship season moves closer to its end, fans will be keeping an eye on Leeds United’s transfer plans.
If they can bring in a player like Tammy Abraham, it could be a big boost for their Premier League ambitions.
