West Ham United have reportedly made an enticing offer to AS Roma for the services of Tammy Abraham with their reputed offer said to clock in at £25m.
According to reports out of Italy, Roma would be willing to accept bids of £21.4m but West Ham are eager to avoid having too much competition for the player.
The Hammers will still have some work to do if Roma accept their bid as Abraham is said to be put off by a return to the Premier League.

The former Chelsea striker, who would like to transfer to the San Siro rather than the London Stadium, is reportedly of interest to Italian giants AC Milan.
It seems likely Roma would accept their £25 million offer, and since Lopetegui only has Danny Ings and Michail Antonio to compete with Niclas Fullkrug.
The Niclas Fullkrug deal has been a big boost to West Ham and adding Abraham to that would constitute a very good window for the club ahead of Julen Lopetegui’s maiden Premier League campaign at the helm of the club.
Fullkrug credited Sporting Director Tim Steidten with getting him in the door at the London Stadium.
