Aston Villa Eyeing Move to Sign Tammy Abraham, He Wants to Join

Tammy Abraham linked with a January return to the Premier League could strengthen Aston Villa’s striking options; if he joins for under £15m expect punters to back Villa for more goals and consider bets on Abraham as an anytime scorer or first scorer in early starts, given his form at Besiktas (7 in 17) and strong European record.

Tammy Abraham emerges as Aston Villa’s January transfer target

Aston Villa are reported to be pursuing a move for Tammy Abraham as the January window approaches, with the striker keen on a return to the Premier League. Abraham left England in 2021 when he moved from Chelsea to Roma and has since had spells away, most recently on loan at Besiktas.

Current form and contract situation

The 28-year-old has impressed in Turkey, scoring seven goals in 17 league appearances and netting five times in six European fixtures. He is on loan at Besiktas from Roma, and while the Turkish club have an obligation to sign him permanently in the summer, sources suggest a winter departure could be negotiated for a fee under £15m.

Why Villa see value in Abraham

Abraham is familiar with Villa Park after a successful 2018/19 loan spell when he scored 26 goals and helped the club earn promotion. Villa’s manager has limited natural centre-forward options following Jhon Duran’s exit, and there is increasing pressure on Ollie Watkins. A low-cost permanent signing of Abraham would offer experienced depth and a proven goal threat.

Financial and squad considerations

Roma are said to prefer a permanent sale to free funds for reinforcements elsewhere, which could facilitate a deal. Abraham reportedly earns around £145,000 a week; a transfer for under £15m could be viewed as a calculated risk for a club pushing near the top of the table.

Transfer outlook and implications

A January move would give Villa an immediate attacking option and reduce reliance on a small pool of centre-forwards. For Abraham, a return to England offers a chance to re-establish himself in the Premier League after spells in Serie A and Turkey.

Betting angles

Punters might react by backing Villa in markets tied to goals scored or by placing “anytime scorer” bets on Abraham early in his stint, given his recent scoring rate. Betting markets on Villa’s title or top-four odds could shift marginally if a deal is completed, reflecting strengthened attacking depth.
