West Ham United are seemingly the front-runners to sign Tammy Abraham from Chelsea, as reported by Football Insider.
In 2020/21, the England international enjoyed a fruitful campaign, bagging 18 goal contributions in 32 fixtures, with 12 goals and six assists [Transfermarkt] to finish as the Blues joint-top scorer alongside Timo Werner [BBC].
