Both Leicester City and West Ham want to sign Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.
The 23-year old was left out of the squad to face Manchester City in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday, with manager Thomas Tuchel attributed to a lack of confidence.
And that was taken by many as a sign that his future could lie away from Stamford Bridge, with the German using him only sparingly since he took charge of the club after the dismissal of Frank Lampard.
Abraham remains the club’s top scorer this season with 12 goals in 30 appearances.
Chelsea have preferred to use Timo Werner and Kai Havertz in attack, and have been linked with a move for a new number nine this summer, with Romelu Lukaku and Erling Haaland both on their shortlist.
The player will have two years left on his current deal in the summer, and it may be the opportune time to sell him whilst they can till command premium value for the academy graduate.
