Heading to Arsenal? after Arteta told to sign ‘departing’ Chelsea star for Arsenal this summer
Jermaine Jenas has claimed that Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham should be on Arsenal’s radar this summer, as he looks for the Stamford Bridge exit signs
Abraham is one of the most talented young strikers in the Premier League, and before the arrival of Timo Werner last summer, was tipped to be the main man at the Bridge for the next few years.
However, The England international has fallen down the pecking order in West London since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel as manager, and he is now reportedly seeking a summer exit in order to get the game time that he feels he deserves.
And amid all the speculation surrounding his future, the former Tottenham midfielder insists that the 23 year-old would be a ‘great signing for anyone’, even Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side.
“I think he’d be a great signing for anyone,” Jenas told MirrorFootball. “He had that special relationship with Aston Villa fans in the Championship but they’ve now got Ollie Watkins.
“I would like to think that Tammy could maybe go on a loan. I don’t think it’s the time for Chelsea to be completely cutting ties.
“You’ve got Watford, who have just come up. Brighton are desperate for someone to get them goals. Southampton is another team you look at and wonder if he could do a job.
“He could even go to Arsenal, if Chelsea let him. Mikel Arteta is insistent on playing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang off the left. He’s not going to go to Tottenham if Harry Kane is still there. West Ham?
“He’s a suitable player for a number of teams and I think a lot will be looking at his services.”
