EPL: Why Chelsea rejected £25million offer for Nigerian forward

-


Chelsea threw out a £25million bid from Tottenham Hotspur for Nigerian-born striker, Tammy Abraham, on deadline day, Goal reports.

Abraham, who was identified by Mauricio Pochettino as an understudy for Harry Kane, was keen on a switch across London, but Chelsea had no interest in selling him to their fiercest local rival.

Spurs eventually failed to sign anyone during the summer transfer window.

Abraham, 20, has impressed at international level, making his senior debut for England last year, but he has found himself behind both Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

He could yet seal a move to the Championship, with EFL clubs being allowed to loan players until the end of the month.

Liverpool make final Thiago transfer decision with Man Utd and Arsenal interested

Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move to sign Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich this summer. “We never had any contact with Liverpool. If he wants to go there, we will have to deal with it.” Liverpool have already hinted that they won't have much money to spend in the summer transfer window having pulled out of negotiations to sign top target Timo Werner. The Reds weren't prepared to meet Werner's release clause, hinting the coronavirus pandemic has left the club re-evaluating their finances ahead of the transfer window opening.
