Aston Villa are actively working on a deal to bring striker Tammy Abraham back to the club this month, with the player himself reportedly open to the move.
Villa Seek Attacking Reinforcement
The Midlands club are pushing to secure the signature of the 28-year-old forward to bolster their offensive options. Abraham enjoyed a highly successful loan spell at Villa Park during the 2018-19 Championship season, where his 26 goals in 40 games were instrumental in securing the club's promotion back to the Premier League.
Currently on loan at Turkish Süper Lig side Besiktas from AC Milan, Abraham has been in strong form, netting 12 times in 24 appearances. Despite being settled in Istanbul, the prospect of a return to England's top flight is understood to be a serious consideration for the former Chelsea man.
Financial and Squad Considerations
Any move is complicated by the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), meaning Villa must navigate the January transfer window with caution. However, the club remains hopeful of concluding a permanent deal for Abraham in the coming days.
Abraham, who left Chelsea permanently in 2021 for Roma before his switch to AC Milan and subsequent loan to Besiktas, is viewed at Villa as a reliable and strong alternative to first-choice striker Ollie Watkins.
Potential Domino Effect on Squad
The potential arrival could be part of a wider reshuffle of attacking personnel. Villa were poised to allow winger Donyell Malen to join Roma on loan, while discussions are ongoing regarding the future of Leon Bailey.
Roma are keen to cut short Bailey's season-long loan deal. Although Villa are under no obligation to agree, facilitating his departure could help smooth the path for other incoming business, including the pursuit of Tammy Abraham.
