# Aston Villa ‘in the front row’ to sign Tammy Abraham

**[Aston Villa](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/aston-villa-news/) and Everton are thought to be ‘in the front row’ to sign AS Roma forward Tammy Abraham this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Abraham in Italy

Abraham made the move to Roma back in 2021 and has now made more appearances for them than any of his previous clubs.

The 25-year-old has turned out on [88](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tammy-abraham/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/331726) occasions for the Serie A side, scoring [34](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tammy-abraham/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/331726) goals and registering [11](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tammy-abraham/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/331726) assists. He’s under contract in Rome until 2026, but it looks as if a return to the Premier League could be on the cards.

### The Latest: Transfer update

[Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/everton-aston-villa-front-row-sign-england-international-current-price-e75m/) relayed an update from [Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/) regarding Abraham in the last 48 hours.

They said that Villa and Everton are ‘in the front row’ for the forward, with Roma’s asking price currently at €75m (£66.4m), although ‘anything could happen’ to that before the summer.

### The Verdict: Record signing?

A fee in or around Roma’s asking price would smash the transfer [record](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transferrekorde/verein/405) at Villa Park, which currently stands at €38.4m (£33.9m) for Emiliano Buendia.

The latest report adds that Villa have money to spend under NSWE and are willing to back [Unai Emery](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/unai-emery/), with previous [updates](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/aston-villa-news/aston-villa-ashley-preece-transfer-news/) suggesting that ‘a new No.9 to partner Ollie Watkins is at the top of Villa’s shopping list this summer’.

Abraham, [hailed](https://twitter.com/MaaxiAngelo/status/1175827871752949761?s=20) as ‘incredible’ by journalist Maxi Angelo, has previous history of scoring for fun at Villa Park, so he could be a shrewd addition to rival Watkins and Jhon Duran in the Midlands, although a transfer could be very expensive.
