Tammy Abraham is set to move away from Stamford Bridge this summer and rumours have either, Arsenal or West Ham, as a possible destination for the English striker.
Only one early prediction can be made in the Tammy Abraham scenario; he will be playing in London next season. That’s it! That’s the prediction.
This forecast made only because London clubs ranging from the West to the East and the West to the North are interested in the striker – outside of the London realm is Aston Villa, the other club said to be extremely interested in the number 9.
Reports have been conflicting, to say the least. Some stories hint that it is, in fact, the Gunners who are leading the race for Tammy Abraham – with the deal said to be in the region of £40m – but no official bid has been made.
Arsenal are currently not in advanced talks for Tammy Abraham. They are informed on his situation as they like him - but it’s not an ‘advanced deal’ with Chelsea yet. 🏴 #AFC

Other outlets claim there is the opportunity of swap deal the Blues could offer the Hammers, depending on how desperate they are to acquire the services of the striker.
The exchange will consist of Abraham heading to the London Stadium while Decline Rice with cash on the side heads over to Stamford Bridge.
Adding to Chelsea’s chances, the transfer chief Marina Granovskaia is aware that Rice wants a move to the Bridge while he is a priority signing for them as well – after all, it is his boyhood club he came from and got released by and now, wants to return to.
"Chelsea are reportedly planning a transfer deal with West Ham which would see Declan Rice move to Stamford Bridge and Tammy Abraham go in the opposite direction.Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is said to be an admirer of the 22-year-old, and he is willing to allow Abraham to leave to lower the asking fee for the player.According to The Athletic, Blues transfer chief Marina Granovskaia has made Rice a top target and knows he wants to join the club, so will offer Abraham in return in a bid to prise him away from the London Stadium.

Villa again, have their priorities elsewhere for now. A striker signing is important, but not the most important one that needs to be made ahead of the new Premier League season.
Probably a Jack Grealish replacement is vital since a move to a top-six club could be on the cards. However, Aston Villa and Tammy enjoyed a fruitful time together in the Championship.
The forward helped them gained promotion while enjoying the best return in his career to date with 37 starts, 25 goals scored, and three assists.
Tammy Abraham is out of favour at Chelsea
The transfer of Abraham out of West London is a matter of when and not if. Thomas Tuchel made how feels about the number 9 clear a while ago, and the mood hasn’t exactly improved between the two.
Before the season ended and during the January transfer window; Tammy was evaluated at £50m by Chelsea. Now they have dropped his asking price, making him a more appealing pick in the market to potential suitors.
