One of Chelsea's former stars is reportedly on his way back to England this summer after a successful spell in Serie A.

Former Chelsea star Tammy Abraham is reportedly closing in on a return to England, with West Ham and Wolves keen on signing the 27-year-old.

The Roma star was once one of the most promising English attackers on the planet, but after suffering an ACL injury, his career has faced a downward trajectory.

Abraham has spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Milan, chipping in with 10 goals in 43 appearances.

However, Calcio Mercato reports that he will return to parent club Roma this summer ahead of a likely transfer to West Ham, who are keen.

Abraham was at the top of his game in his first season at Roma, helping Jose Mourinho's men win the Conference League and get to the Europa League final the following year.

There is no doubt Tammy will be an excellent addition to West Ham, potentially solving a problem area that has plagued the Hammers for years.

He will also be looking to reclaim his place in the England national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup, and playing in the Premier League regularly may boost his chances.

Despite his love for Nigeria, the ex-Chelsea man chose to represent England internationally, making his debut in 2020 against the Czech Republic.
