Edu made to regret Arsenal transfer call as £100m price-tag set for Ian Wright's dream signing

AS Roma have reportedly set a £100million price-tag on former Arsenal transfer target Tammy Abraham.

The Gunners are in need of a clinical frontman after allowing exiled former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join Barcelona during the January transfer window whilst Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are also into the final months of their respective contracts with the club. The likes of Jonathan David and Darwin Nunez have been linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium and football.london understands that the north London club are looking to sign two forwards in the summer window.

Former Chelsea star Abraham was heavily linked with a move to the Gunners last summer but technical director Edu was focused on other priorities in the team before the Englishman opted to move to Roma in a £36million deal instead. Now, according to The Daily Mail, the Giallorossi will demand a whopping £100million for the former Aston Villa loanee this summer - though Chelsea have a buy-back clause believed to be worth €80million (£66.7million).
