Newcastle must make official move for Tammy Abraham after source's Aston Villa reveal

Newcastle United have no excuse not to make a move for Tammy Abraham this summer transfer window after reports emerged that Aston Villa were open to a sale.

The Birmingham outfit only signed the 28-year-old striker in the winter window, but has struggled to establish himself in the starting XI at Villa Park.

Sources say Villa are open to offers for the former England international this summer.

This presents a perfect opportunity for Eddie Howe and Newcastle to make a move for a proven Premier League striker.

The Magpies were woeful up top last season, and their attacking threat has only diminished further after the sale of Anthony Gordon.

Therefore, Abraham could prove to be a sensible and cheap buy for the club as they look to return to Europe this season.

Tammy Abraham could prove to be a bargain for Newcastle

Despite his limited game time last season, Abraham still proved to be a menace up top.

Overall, he netted three times in all competitions for Villa, with many of his appearances coming from the bench.

Therefore, his goals per minute ratio was actually very good at 0.65 in the Premier League.

If given consistent time on the pitch, Abraham has already proven he can be very effective in the Premier League, after he netted 15 goals in the division for Chelsea in the 2019-20 campaign.

Newcastle must look to test the waters and submit a bid for Abraham this month.

The striker could finally solve the club’s attacking woes and prove to be a bargain if he hits double-figure goals in the Premier League this season.

Who are Newcastle linked with this summer?

Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Newcastle United have joined the race to sign Neco Williams this summer transfer window.

The Nottingham Forest full-back is a target for numerous clubs this summer after another solid campaign.

The 25-year-old’s ability to play both on the left and the right has helped to attract the interest of Howe as the club now look to beat their rivals to his signature.

Nottingham Forest, however, are extremely reluctant to lose Williams and are in ongoing talks over a contract extension in a bid to deter the growing interest in him.
