Aston Villa will reportedly look to re-sign 28-year-old English international Tammy Abraham in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by the Daily Telegraph, Tammy Abraham is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Villans are keen on bolstering their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in the winter transfer window. So, the 28-year-old striker has emerged as a target amid his exploits for Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas.
However, a mid-season deal for the Englishman will not be straightforward, as Besiktas can seal a permanent deal worth £11.2 million if they satisfy certain conditions. Additionally, Abraham’s £115,000-a-week wages will complicate a move further due to Aston Villa’s struggles to comply with the Premier League’s outgoing Profit and Sustainability Rules.
How has Tammy Abraham fared since leaving Chelsea?
Tammy Abraham has endured a topsy-turvy ride since leaving Chelsea. He joined AS Roma in August 2021 and hit the ground running in an exceptional debut season. However, poor form and fitness issues plagued him in the next two and a half years. AC Milan signed the 28-year-old striker on loan from AS Roma for the 2024/25 season, and he was inconsistent last term.
However, the English striker has resurrected his stuttering fortunes this season, as he has scored 12 goals and provided three assists in 24 appearances across all competitions during his loan spell with Besiktas. The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Aston Villa will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature this month.
Premier League return on the horizon?
Aston Villa’s interest in Tammy Abraham is understandable. The Villans have been scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the winter transfer window. While Unai Emery’s men have been exceptional in the 2025/26 season after a slow start, the offensive output has not been sustainable.
Aston Villa’s overdependence on Ollie Watkins was the team’s undoing in the early struggles, as other attackers, apart from Morgan Rogers, have not been productive enough. Several candidates, including Omar Marmoush, have thus emerged on Aston Villa’s wishlist, with Abraham also a viable target.
However, a mid-season deal for the 28-year-old Englishman will not be straightforward, as Besiktas can seal a permanent deal worth £11.2 million if they satisfy certain conditions. Additionally, Abraham’s £115,000-a-week wages will also complicate a move due to Aston Villa’s struggles to comply with the Premier League’s outgoing Profit and Sustainability Rules. It will be interesting to see if the former Chelsea striker returns to Villa Park this month.
