Tottenham are considering a move for striker Tammy Abraham after the club were offered the Roma striker for a reduced transfer fee of around £26 million, The Pitch Prospect has learned.
Roma are keen to get Abraham off the payroll after an injury-plagued season and are offering him to Premier League clubs such as Spurs.

Ange Postecoglu’s team are looking for a new number 9 and have also enquired about Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth.
However, they are not willing to meet his £65 million release clause.
Former Chelsea star Abraham, who scored an impressive 27 goals in his first season in Serie A, only started eight times in the league last season.
Spurs are not the only team said to be interested in the 26-year-old; Aston Villa and Everton also have their eye on the striker.
Abraham was a crowd favourite at Villa Park during a one-year loan spell with the club in the 2018/19 season.
He scored 26 goals to help Villa regain promotion to the Premier League before returning to his parent club Chelsea.
The Hammers are also looking to strengthen their attack this summer and see Abraham as a realistic target with Michail Antonio expected to leave the London Stadium later this month.
Abraham moved to the Stadio Olimpico from Chelsea for £34 million in 2021. He immediately settled into Serie A, scoring an impressive 27 goals in his debut season.
The following season was not without challenges, as Abraham was unable to repeat his first season heroics.
He only scored nine goals before tearing his cruciate ligament on the last matchday of the season.

Abraham returned to action in April but managed to score just one goal in eight games for the Giallorossi.
New Roma head coach Daniele De Rossi is considering a move for Matias Soule from Juventus as he looks to reshape his squad ahead of his first full season in charge.
A move back to the Premier League could offer Abraham the opportunity to return to the England national team.
He made his last appearance for England in a Nations League clash with Italy in June 2022, before he was later left out of the Three Lions’ squad for the World Cup.
Since then, he has fallen down the pecking order under manager Gareth Southgate following the emergence of Ivan Toney and, more recently, Ollie Watkins.
