West Ham and Southampton have both made enquiries to Chelsea about the prospect of signing Tammy Abraham, according to a report from Eurosport.
The future of the 23-year-old has come under scrutiny in recent days as the England man falls out of favour at Stamford Bridge under Tomas Tuchel.
It isn’t specified when the Hammers asked about the availability of the striker, with the report stating both the east Londoners and the Saints have shown interest in the past year.
One major stumbling block in any move for the Chelsea ace could be his wage demands, with the report citing part of the stall in contract talks was Abraham’s £120,000-a-week request.
The 6’2 ace has one international goal in six outings which came in a 7-0 rout over Montenegro back in November 2019.

David Moyes’ squad could certainly use a frontman of Abraham’s class, with only Michail Antonio at the Scotsman’s disposal as a recognised senior option.
Despite early detractors in his early career, much of which was spent out on loan, Abraham has developed into a top-quality Premier League performer who would have plenty to offer to the Hammers.
