After falling out of favour since Thomas Tuchel took over at Stamford Bridge, the England international has been strongly linked with a host of top clubs this summer.Foreign clubs such as Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta have been mentioned as possible suitors for Abraham, as well as Premier League sides Arsenal and West Ham.However, it seems, according to journalist Nicolo Schira – that Abraham would prefer to stay in the English top-tier, and this looks to have put Arsenal in pole position to land the 23-year-old after advanced negotiations.Tammy #Abraham wants to stay in England. The striker will leave #Chelsea this summer: Blues would like to sell him abroad, but Abraham are in very advanced talks to reach an agreement with #Arsenal, which are preparing an official bid to submit to #CFC. #transfers #AFC— Nicolò Schira (@NicoSchira) August 9, 2021 Arsenal need strengthening up front since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang went through a significant dip in form last season. The Gunners also need a strong creative midfield signing to accompany the potential Abraham move.Signing Abraham might seem unnecessary as a log-term replacement for Mesut Ozil could be the key to getting the best out of Aubameyang and Alexander Lacazette (if the latter does not leave the Emirates Stadium, of course).UEFA SUPER CUP: (1.83) CHELSEA (3.45) VILLAREAL (4.60)Abraham is an incredibly talented attacker, reads the game really well from out front. If he can play regularly under a manager who believes in him, he could have a bright future ahead of him.Last two arrivals from Chelsea did not turn out to be good investments – David Luiz has already left the club after a spell of small successes (English Supercup – 2021 and FA Cup 2020) while Willian is under scrutiny for poor performances while receiving quite a weekly salary (265,000 USD).
