West Ham United are seemingly the front-runners to sign Tammy Abraham from Chelsea, as reported by Football Insider.

In 2020/21, the England international enjoyed a fruitful campaign, bagging 18 goal contributions in 32 fixtures, with 12 goals and six assists [Transfermarkt] to finish as the Blues joint-top scorer alongside Timo Werner [BBC].

Having previously been linked with Aston Villa, the Hammers now seem to be in pole position for his signature as their search for a centre-forward intensifies [Football Insider].

Despite initially being valued at £40m by Chelsea, it is believed that £35m could be enough to prise the 23-year-old away from Stamford Bridge heading into the new season [Football Insider].

In light of this update, many West Ham supporters took to Twitter to share their delight at these recent developments.

West Ham United fans react:

Replying to multiple different Hammers fan outlets, here is how some supporters summarised their thoughts on the club seemingly leading the chase for Abraham, who one fan hailed as a "great player":

"I’d be happy with this tbh"

"West Ham can sign Tammy Abraham for £30m now & not £40m as reported earlier because David Moyes told them he is only worth £25m so they have bought down the price down to £30m now go and do the deal now West Ham the player wants the move so that he plays with Declan Rice!"
