# Tammy Abraham Will Relish West Ham Move \[Opinion\]

Thomas Tuchel’s throwing-down of the gauntlet is the perfect incentive for [Tammy Abraham](https://readwestham.com/2021/03/02/report-west-ham-interested-in-chelsea-striker-tammy-abraham/) to take his services to the London Stadium, with[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/03/02/report-west-ham-interested-in-chelsea-striker-tammy-abraham/) [increasingly likely](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) to secure European football next season.

Tuchel, benching Abraham for tactical reasons, admitted his purely strategic foundation behind his neglect of the target man as the Blues ground out a tense [goalless draw](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) with Manchester United.

Chelsea’s [recent form](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) under Tuchel has certainly branded the league with a mark of intent, but the [6-cap England international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tammy-abraham/profil/spieler/331726)could be a victim of the German tactician’s own tactical nous.

> “This situation is totally natural, he has to do exactly what he does; train well, be in a good mood and accept that he is a striker for Chelsea so this is the highest competition in Europe,” said Tuchel as he [challenged](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/tuchel-explains-abraham-chelsea-decision) the striker \[via [TEAMTalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/tuchel-explains-abraham-chelsea-decision)\].

> “When you play for Chelsea, it is a difficult decision I have to take and I am very, very happy when I have to take them because it means everybody is on board.

> “This is what you sign up for if you are a player for Chelsea, a coach for Chelsea, that these moments arrive.

> “There is no other answer to it other than to accept it and be there on Monday to fight for your place in the squad. I am sure he will do it.”

The real question remains as to whether Abraham feels he deserves to be a star player elsewhere.

Under David Moyes, Abraham would represent a young hungry home-grown talent with a [proven prolific record](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tammy-abraham/profil/spieler/331726)at the highest echelons of world football.

With just Michail Antonio to compete with, Abraham could be a long-term option to lead the line for years to come – and Moyes’ European push would be the final lure to ensnare Abraham in claret and blue.

Moyes has a well-oiled unit firing on all cylinders [towards](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) the top league spots, which should be more than enough to convince Abraham that West Ham are undoing the malaise of the past in order to lay a new bedrock of success.

With [two years](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/west-ham-lead-four-clubs-as-chelsea-youngster-decides-its-time-to-leave) still left to run on his deal, Chelsea will leverage their asset – quite rightly – for every penny they can get from potential suitors.

Conversely, the real risk is not signing a talent of Abraham’s pedigree and should he become available, the Irons must place Abraham at the top of their wanted list.
