Chelsea's Tammy Abraham has been mooted as a possible option to replace Edin Dzeko at AS Roma.

Abraham was Chelsea's top goalscorer during the 2019-20 season but has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel. He played 22 league games last season, with just 10 of them as a starter. The recent arrival of Romelu Lukaku will push him further down the line and he is likely to move away from Stamford Bridge this summer.

Nevertheless, the 23-year-old has also been linked with a number of Premier League clubs in recent weeks. It'll take a lot of persuasion from Jose Mourinho to convince him to move to Rome.

#3 Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City)

Kelechi Iheanacho has been linked with a move to AS Roma

Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho is another Premier League striker who has been linked with a move to AS Roma.

Roma are considering making an offer for Kelechi Iheanacho if they fail to sign Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham.

The 24-year old is a versatile attacker who is comfortable playing as a striker or as an attacking midfielder. His key strengths are his pace and dribbling skills, while also being composed in front of the goal.

Iheanacho joined Leicester from Manchester City in 2017. He played 96 games for the Foxes thus far, scoring 21 goals. The Nigerian mostly served as a deputy to Jamie Vardy but he always looked lively whenever his opportunity arrived.

The former Manchester City attacker signed a new long-term contract with the East Midlands club last season. This means Leicester are likely to demand a huge fee if Roma attempt to sign him.
