negotiations to sign Tammy Abraham with Besiktas and are now close to re-signing the striker. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After a protracted saga involving complex negotiations across three clubs, the Premier League side have struck a deal to bring the 28-year-old forward back to Villa Park.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Aston Villa have reached a verbal agreement with Besiktas, pending final details.<\/p>\n<p>Jacobs told X that optimism had been high throughout the week despite the complex nature of the deal, which required multiple visits by club officials to Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>Abraham has already agreed personal terms with Villa and is keen to return to the club where he spent a significant loan spell during the 2018\/19 season.<\/p>\n<p>In a subsequent update, Mr Jacobs confirmed that Mr Abraham had been given permission to travel to the UK, with a medical check scheduled for Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The deal is thought to have a transfer fee of \u00a318 million and will see 19-year-old defender Yashin Ozcan, currently on loan at Anderlecht, head to Besiktas as part of the exchange.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tammy_Abraham_will_immediately_improve_Aston_Villas_attack\"><\/span>Tammy Abraham will immediately improve Aston Villa&#8217;s attack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Abraham&#8217;s arrival comes at a crucial time for Unai Emery&#8217;s side. With Donyell Malen&#8217;s recent departure to Roma, Villa have been in the market for quality options to provide competition and support for Ollie Watkins.<\/p>\n<p>Abraham offers immediate Premier League experience and a physical presence that complements Villa&#8217;s attacking style.<\/p>\n<p>His previous stint at Villa Park remains a fond memory for supporters. He played a pivotal role in the club&#8217;s promotion to the top flight, scoring 26 goals in 40 appearances during the 2018\/19 Championship season.<\/p>\n<p>He returns as an experienced international with European pedigree and is expected to fit seamlessly into Emery&#8217;s tactical set-up as Villa continue to put pressure on Arsenal, who are seven points clear at the top of the league.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Abrahams_amazing_goalscoring_form\"><\/span>Abraham&#8217;s amazing goalscoring form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The striker returns to England in top form. Abraham has revitalized his career in Turkey, scoring 13 goals in 26 competitive games for Besiktas this season.<\/p>\n<p>His history as a goalscorer is well established. Prior to his time with Spel Lig, he scored 37 goals for AS Roma, including a key role in winning the Conference League.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>club<\/th>\n<th>Appearance<\/th>\n<th>the goal<\/th>\n<th>assist<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>AS Roma<\/td>\n<td>120<\/td>\n<td>37<\/td>\n<td>13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Chelsea FC<\/td>\n<td>82<\/td>\n<td>30<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>bristol city<\/td>\n<td>48<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ac milan<\/td>\n<td>44<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Aston Villa<\/td>\n<td>40<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Swansea City<\/td>\n<td>39<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Besiktas JK<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<td>13<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Tammy Abraham Career Statistics by Club (via Transfermarkt)<\/p>\n<p>Combined with his 30 goals for Chelsea and his heroics at Villa and Bristol City, Abraham boasts a career record that proves he can find the back of the net at any level.<\/p>\n<p>If Saturday&#8217;s medical goes as planned, Villa fans could soon see their former hero in claret and blue.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aston Villa have finally achieved a breakthrough in negotiations to sign Tammy Abraham with Besiktas and are now close to re-signing the striker.
