Leicester City receive shocking Tammy Abraham transfer response as scout visit AS Roma

The latest Leicester City transfer news as AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham addresses recent transfer rumours, including suggestions of a loan to the King Power Stadium

Tammy Abraham has played down transfer talk, stating his intention to do his best for AS Roma following rumours that earmarked a possible loan to Leicester City.

The Englishman has been hotly linked with a move to reignite his career this summer. After a maiden 2021/22 campaign in the Italian capital that featured 27 goals, injury has blighted his progress and so Abraham’s name has been on the scoresheet only 10 more times over the past two seasons.

The Englishman has been hotly linked with a move to reignite his career this summer. After a maiden 2021/22 campaign in the Italian capital that featured 27 goals, injury has blighted his progress and so Abraham’s name has been on the scoresheet only 10 more times over the past two seasons.

“Since the first day here in Rome I have wanted to demonstrate my passion for football and my desire to help the club,” he told Sky Sports News.

“I am a smiling and always positive person . This is my first post-injury preparation, it is my season and I want to show that I am back. The rumours, obviously, are nice, it means you are doing well, but I am here with Roma and I am available to do my best.”

As well as City, the latest suggestion was that Premier League rivals Everton and Bournemouth – now in possession of £65m and a free striker’s spot following the sale of Dominic Solanke – would offer the 26-year-old a route back to his homeland. However, the striker’s preference would have allegedly been a season-long switch to AC Milan.

On the other hand, if a transfer were to have happened then Roma would reportedly prefer to sell to a Premier League side for no less than €30m (£25.6m). Discussions over a loan to Milan would have proven tricky between direct Serie A rivals as Milan wished to assess Abraham’s injury record over the course of a year before committing to a permanent transfer, whereas Roma would have hoped to include easy-to-meet conditions to trigger an obligation to buy.
