£24 Million deal: Leicester City land signing for £24 Million-Rated Seria A striker as club’s first Premier League target

Leicester City is showing a lot of interest in Roma striker Tammy Abraham as a potential return to the Premier League.

Following their championship victory, the Foxes will need to battle through a challenging season against skilled opponents. To maintain depth and quality, a new figure is required as striker options become more limited. Could Abraham become Leicester’s marksman for the 2024–2025 season now that he is available?

Before making his way into the starting lineup, the 26-year-old progressed through the ranks of Chelsea’s youth through a number of loans. At Bristol City, where he would score 26 goals, he made an impression. Swansea would then advance to the Premier League before moving on to Aston Villa in the Championship. Here, he would demonstrate his abilities by scoring 26 more goals and assisting the Villains in getting promoted.

Under Frank Lampard, the forward would see more playing time as a result of Chelsea’s transfer ban. With Thomas Tuchel leading the team, his prospects diminished until the club could afford to pay again. This would result in an agreement for the Englishmen to join AS Roma for about £40 million.

Under Jose Mourinho, the forward would be heavily involved, making over 100 appearances with 36 goals and 12 assists. But after Mourinho was fired and Daniele De Rossi took over, the attacker would lose favor. This was made worse by a protracted injury that sidelined him for 285 days, resulting in just 12 appearances for the 26-year-old throughout the season.

The East Midlands-based team is interested in getting the striker back to the Premier League, according to Leggo.it. The same report would also say that after failing to make an impression on De Rossi, the forward would be placed on the transfer list and asked for €28 million (£24 million) in exchange for his services.

In addition, Leicestershire Live understands Maresca’s departure will have minimal impact on any player incomings this summer. Therefore, this isn’t a signing specific to the coach or his system as the club’s head of recruitment, and scouting team remain the key influences in the incomings of players.
