Arsenal eye shock move for rivals’ 23-goal striking starlet

Arsenal’s need to strengthen their attacking line has been obvious in recent seasons but the Gunners look set to finally improve their options in this area during the summer transfer window.

A top-class name is likely to be signed but it appears Arsenal are eyeing alternative recruits in this area to compensate a new star arrival, with The Sun stating the Gunners are plotting a swoop for Chelsea’s teenage sensation Tammy Abraham.

Abraham has excelled on-loan this season with Bristol City in the Championship, scoring 23 goals for the lowly-placed Robins- and he’s now seeking first-team assurances at Stamford Bridge, otherwise he’ll push for an exit.

Premier League champions Chelsea may find it difficult to offer the 18-year-0ld the opportunities he’s looking for and Arsenal are looking to take advantage, as the Gunners want to improve their options in attack and are seeking a top-class young striker.

Despite the rivalry between the two club’s, Arsenal are confident they can persuade Abraham to move across London but he may find similar struggles to earn first-team opportunities at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal’s attacking ranks currently include Alexis Sanchez, Danny Welbeck, Olivier Giroud, Lucas Perez and young Chuba Akpom.
