Aston Villa will likely sign 28-year-old English striker Tammy Abraham “within a few days” and end his loan spell with Besiktas midway through the 2025/26 season.
According to a report by Turkish outlet Turkiye Gazetesi, Tammy Abraham is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Villans are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in the winter transfer window. So, the 28-year-old has emerged as a target for the West Midlands outfit amid his exploits for Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas.
The latest report has revealed that Besiktas and Aston Villa are in talks to seal the deal for the Englishman, and his move “is expected to be completed within a few days”. Meanwhile, the Black Eagles are eyeing a move for Promise David to replace Abraham in the winter transfer window.
Tammy Abraham and his career since leaving Chelsea
Tammy Abraham has endured a topsy-turvy ride since leaving Chelsea. He joined AS Roma in August 2021 and enjoyed a wondrous debut season. However, poor form and fitness issues plagued the 28-year-old after that, and his loan stint with AC Milan in the 2024/25 season left much to be desired.
However, the English striker has resurrected his stuttering fortunes this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 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 in the winter transfer window.
Premier League return on the horizon?
Aston Villa’s interest in Tammy Abraham makes sense. The Villans have been combing the market for a versatile attacker heading into the winter transfer window. Unai Emery’s men have surpassed expectations by rising to third in the Premier League standings. However, Aston Villa’s overdependence on Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers may prove costly as the games come thick and fast in the second half of the 2025/26 season.
Several candidates, including Omar Marmoush, have thus emerged on Aston Villa’s wishlist, with Abraham also a viable target. The latest report has revealed that Besiktas and Aston Villa are in talks to seal the deal for the Englishman, and his move “is expected to be completed within a few days”.
Meanwhile, the Black Eagles are eyeing a move for Promise David to replace Abraham in the winter transfer window. However, it is unclear if Aston Villa will sign the 28-year-old English striker from Besiktas, as recent reports have revealed that AS Roma may cancel his loan deal and negotiate his move with Aston Villa. Nevertheless, a return to the Premier League is on the cards for the former Chelsea striker.
