West Ham United are now clear favourites to sign striker Tammy Abraham, long touted as David Moyes’s prime summer target.
It is perhaps the worst kept secret in football that West Ham are desperate to sign at least one striker this summer.
Moyes has been left with the brilliant but injury prone Michail Antonio as his only senior forward following the sale of Sebastien Haller in January.
The Hammers boss banked the £20m raised through Haller’s sale to spend on a striker this summer.

But insider ExWHUemployee has always insisted Chelsea outcast Tammy Abraham is Moyes’s number one target.

“At the moment it appears that Tammy Abraham is the first choice to be signed in the summer as a much needed further forward addition,” ExWHUemployee said on his Patreon in April.
Well it appears the insider may be on the money as a new report from Football Insider yesterday claimed West Ham have emerged as favourites to sign Abraham.
“West Ham have climbed into pole position ahead of Aston Villa in the race for Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham, Football Insider has learned,” Football Insider reports.

Football Insider goes on to claim a bid of around £30m should be enough to ensure West Ham seal the deal.
