Tammy Abraham has been scoring goals for fun since he switched Stamford Bridge for Stadio Olimpico. The English forward endured a disappointing last season with Chelsea and was destined to leave the Blues. And although Arsenal were one of the teams interested, Jose Mourinho’s Roma won the race and took the striker to Italy.The move, of course, was a masterstroke as the Englishman took to life in Serie A like a fish to water. He’s already scored 23 goals for the Giallorossi, including an emphatic double in the Derby Della Capitale last weekend.Saturday, 20.30: (1.72) England (3.60) Switzerland (5.20)All those goals and performances made Abraham one of the main candidates to make England’s World Cup squad later this year, but have also prompted an Arsenal legend to urge his club into correcting their last year’s mistake. Ian Wright would love to watch Tammy Abraham in an Arsenal shirt.”I think so Tammy’s ready now. Absolutely. He’s gone to Roma and it’s a massive club and he’s the main man. Tammy has the hunger to finish the chances that Arsenal are not finishing right now. They are making chances but someone is not in there taking them. Tammy is at that stage now where he would be in there gobbling all that up.”#OTD 1995, Auxerre 0 #Arsenal 1. 🏆 Cup Winners Cup Quarter Final 2nd leg. A stunning goal by Ian Wright 🔥 on 16 minutes gave Arsenal the away win they needed to overcome the 1-1 draw at Highbury. #Throwback pic.twitter.com/19jD0SPD7M— Arsenal History From Highbury To The Emirates (@4949Undefeted) March 16, 2022 Roma splashed $44 million to sign Abraham in August and have hit gold. We can only imagine how much would they want from Arsenal or any other club to even be tempted into selling their top goalscorer. The offer would have to be truly breathtaking. And with Arsenal’s recent reluctance to spend money, it seems that Wright’s wish will remain just a fantasy.
