Manchester United have reportedly made Roma striker Tammy Abraham an alternative summer transfer option to Tottenham talisman Harry Kane.
The Red Devils are very much in the market for a new No.9, with various options being considered. A proven Premier League performer would be their preference, with Kane – who now sits level with Wayne Rooney on 208 goals in the English top-flight – identified as the top target at Old Trafford.
With there no guarantee that Kane can be lured to Old Trafford, Gazzetta dello Sport reports that United are also monitoring former Chelsea frontman Abraham. The 25-year-old England international hit 27 goals for Roma last season – making history in the process as the highest-scoring Englishman across a single Serie A campaign – with a further nine efforts added to that tally this term.
Abraham is also set to come with a hefty price tag, as Chelsea included a £70 million ($88m) buy-back option in the deal that took him to Italy. That could lead United back to Kane – or see them change tack completely, as they move instead for an unproven Premier League talent such as Napoli sensation Victor Osimhen.
