Tammy Abraham doesn’t want to join West Ham from Chelsea
Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham is not interested in joining West Ham United, according to ExWHUemployee.
The England international looks set to leave Stamford Bridge this month, with the Irons looking to finally replace Sebastien Haller.
Doubts have set in over the deal, with the wage demands of Abraham also deemed to be very “excessive”.
Writing on the West Ham Way Patreon late last night, Ex shared yet another transfer update to make our skin crawl.
“The move for Tammy Abraham doesn’t appear to be happening at the moment,” he wrote.
“The player doesn’t really want to join the club, I think he has his eyes set on Arsenal regardless of whether we meet his wages demands, wages demands that have also been described as excessive.”
Move on, quick.
We are creeping ever closer to the start of the Premier League, and it is looking more likely that only one if any signings will be complete.
At this stage, many would likely blame GSB for not coughing up the funds, but missing out on Abraham appears to be the best-case scenario.
We don’t want players who don’t want to be here just collecting pay cheque and pay cheque, and that appears to be Abraham’s main goal here.
The Sun reported that Chelsea still want £35million for any deal, and it is likely that his wages would be over £100,000-per-week, which isn’t sustainable.
Michail Antonio is our only senior forward at the club, and with an extended schedule adding in Europe, he may struggle with his fitness.
The Irons are crying out for another striker, but it looks as though it is going to go down to the wire.
