AC Milan remain insistent on signing a new centre-forward and Tammy Abraham is the leading name at the moment, according to a report.
Milan secured the signing of Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid last month and at present Luka Jovic is the back-up option after his contract was extended, but reports have suggested that the management want another option for the new head coach Paulo Fonseca.
According to the latest from Fabrizio Romano, Milan ‘want Tammy Abraham as new striker and the plan remains clear since July 12’. Talks with Roma are ‘to follow’ and he adds that Niclas Füllkrug was never close as Milan want a ‘different kind of striker’.
Sky recently reported that Fonseca considers Abraham to be ideal for the way he wants to play and a great complement to Morata, whereas Fullkrug is more of a target man and this is perhaps not what the new coach is looking for.
Abraham meanwhile has given his approval to the idea of joining Milan and at the moment he is not considering Premier League teams that have knocked on his door like Everton and West Ham United. He wants to bounce back after a difficult last season with Roma following a long-term knee injury.
