Everton, Leeds United in transfer tussle to sign Tammy Abraham

Everton and Leeds United are keen on signing 28-year-old English striker Tammy Abraham from Aston Villa this summer.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Everton and Leeds United are interested in Tammy Abraham. The two Premier League mid-table clubs are eager to bolster their offensive units by signing a striker in the upcoming transfer window, and they have set their sights on the 28-year-old Aston Villa striker.

However, Everton and Leeds United are not alone in the battle for Abraham’s signature, as the TEAMtalk report has revealed that his situation at Aston Villa has also alerted Sunderland. Meanwhile, it has also added that the Englishman is keen on securing regular game time, which may lead to a summer departure.

Tammy Abraham and his rollercoaster ride in recent years

Abraham has endured a mixed spell since leaving Chelsea in August 2021, when he joined AS Roma. After a solid debut season in Italy, poor form and fitness issues hindered his progress. A loan stint with AC Milan in the 2024/25 season proved problematic, and his move to Aston Villa has not delivered the impact hoped for. The 28-year-old has started only two Premier League games since joining the club in a deal worth £21 million earlier this year.

The English striker’s stats at Aston Villa make a compelling case for an exit: three goals in 16 games (437 minutes of game time). So, a summer exit may be on the cards amid Everton and Leeds United’s push for a deal.

Move across the Premier League on the cards?

Leeds United’s interest in Abraham is understandable. While Daniel Farke has multiple strikers in his squad, Joel Piroe is reportedly closing in on leaving the West Yorkshire outfit this summer. Additionally, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the only consistent striker in Farke’s squad, forcing Leeds to return to the market for a reliable partner in the final third.

As for Everton, the Merseyside club attempted to sign the Englishman in January before he joined Aston Villa. The continued interest makes sense, as Beto and Thierno Barry have only impressed in fits and starts, prompting David Moyes to seek a solution from the market.

Meanwhile, with regular first-team action a priority, Abraham is likely to favour Leeds or Everton, as both offer clearer paths to the pitch compared to Sunderland. Meanwhile, with Aston Villa reportedly chasing multiple strikers, including Dusan Vlahovic, they can afford to cash in on the English striker this summer.
