Former Arsenal man, Nigel Winterburn, has joined calls for the Gunners to sign in-form AS Roma striker, Tammy Abraham.
The England international left the Premier League to join Jose Mourinho’s side last summer despite reported interest from Arsenal for his signature.
He has taken the Italian top-flight by storm and is now one of the finest players in the competition, after scoring 15 goals from 29 league appearances for his present employers.
Arsenal doesn’t have a striker that can score that many goals for them in this campaign, and a move for Abraham could solve our goal-scoring problems in the summer.
The likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Ollie Watkins and Alexander Isak have also been linked with a move to the Emirates, but Winterburn would be happy to see Abraham join the club instead.
He said via The Daily Mail: ‘Back in the summer when he was moving, there was a link with Arsenal, I don’t know how strong, but he fits into the bill of what Arsenal were trying to do.’
‘A young player with huge potential, so my opinion doesn’t change that he would have been a great option for Arsenal.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Abraham has proven abroad that he is a quality striker who can thrive in any competition, and that is the type of striker we need as we edge closer to a return to European football.
The former Bristol City loanee is still just 24 and will get better at Arsenal if Mikel Arteta works on the parts of his game that need more fine-tuning.
Roma have confirmed his price is £100 million !

Actually Declan, his price is NOT what Roma demand but what any club is prepared to pay. Simple reality!
Far more likely to be in the £30-£55 mill range than the impossible and unobtainable £100 mill. The very few clubs which COULD, if they chose to, pay £100mill for a player will not be remotely interested in Abraham, at THAT price.
More simple reality!
is this some kind of joke or what? we don’t need him and beside I heard Roma are demanding £100m before letting him go..
Off topic but the women’s NLD has been postponed due to covid out break at spurs….oh how ironic Mr Conté, 🤔
Not a fan of his.
No we don’t need him….
