Leicester could be a big problem for West Ham in race to sign Tammy Abraham

Highly respected journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the Foxes are chasing the 23-year-old Blues hitman ahead of the summer transfer window.

Brendan Rodgers is overseeing an exciting project at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester have some of the finest training facilities in the world. The Foxes are definitely a club on the up.

And if Rodgers does in fact try to sign Abraham this summer, West Ham may well have their work cut-out.

The 23-year-old forward appears to be surplus to requirements under Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge.

Abraham would be the ideal summer addition for the Hammers. He is quick, possesses impressive movement and is a very good finisher.

It seems as though the West Ham board will really have to push the boat out if we are to have any chance of signing Tammy this summer, however, with Leicester allegedly sniffing around the Chelsea ace.
