Tammy Abraham Joins Aston Villa in £18.2m Deal

Aston Villa have signed striker Tammy Abraham from Besiktas in a deal worth £18.2m. Abraham, who has 11 England caps, returns to the club after he spent the 2018/19 season on loan at Villa Park and helped the club earn promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs. The forward moved to Roma from Chelsea in 2021 and was loaned to AC Milan last season before switching to Besiktas on loan this season, where he has scored 12 goals in all competitions. The Turkish side, who were reluctant to part with Abraham, have had to pay £11.2m to Roma to sign the striker permanently before preparing to sell him to Villa for £7m more. Abraham has not played in the Premier League since leaving Chelsea in 2021. The striker, who will compete with Ollie Watkins for a spot in Unai Emery’s team, is also the latest in a long set of deals between Villa and Roma.
