Jan Aage Fjortoft: Every Chelsea striker seems to be linked with West Ham
Jan Aage Fjortoft joked every Chelsea striker is linked with a move to West Ham.
This comes after Tammy Abraham has emerged as the Hammers’ number one attacking target [ExWHUEmployee] this summer as they’re desperately looking to sign a striker.
Previously, even Olivier Giroud was linked to the London club [Calciomercato] before eventually closing in on a move to AC Milan.
Discussing Chelsea transfers on his Twitch channel, Fabrizio Romano said, “Tammy Abraham could also be sold with West Ham linked but we don’t know if that’s happening.”
To this Fjortoft responded, “It looks like every Chelsea striker will end up at West Ham given the transfer reports in the past. I don’t know about this one.”
He’s not wrong
Fjortoft, who is an ex-pro and currently a football pundit cum player agent, is spot on about us being linked with every Chelsea striker.
However, the Abraham links make sense and haven’t been disputed by any credible sources. We’re certainly interested in signing the England international, but the finances are probably proving to be the major stumbling block.
We must not give up on signing him as he’s admired by David Moyes and could be the man who can spearhead this side to the next level.
He is a clinical striker with Premier League experience and has proven he can perform against the top teams when the stakes are high. He’s capable of playing down the middle but also on the flanks and is good off the ball while closing players down.
Thomas Tuchel may not be rating him too highly at Chelsea, but he could come to the east side of the capital and prove him wrong by shining at the London Stadium.
