Former West Ham favourite Trevor Sinclair has professed his admiration for Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham as reports link the England man with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
The Hammers have been linked with a move for the 23-year-old should his time in west London be coming to an end as Sinclair believes there would be no shortage of interested parties.
He told talkSPORT:
”His (Abraham) link-up play is excellent and he’s obviously a huge guy. He gets his goals. If you look at some of the top sides in the Premier League, so many of them take him. For me, Manchester City take him, Manchester United would need him, Arsenal would take him, Leicester City and West Ham would take him.”
Sinclair, who played 196 times for the Irons went on to describe the Chelsea academy graduate as ‘undervalued’ and claimed the Blues would be ‘naïve’ to let Abraham leave.
During the same conversation, co-host Simon Jordan went one step further and compared the striker, who has six Premier League goals this season, with Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema.

Signing Abraham would no doubt be a major statement of intent from the club this summer.
Valued at £36m by Transfermarkt and with two years left to run on his contract at Chelsea, it’s a transfer that wouldn’t come cheap.
But with funds available from Sebastien Haller’s sale and with the possibility of fans returning at the start of next term, the finances could be portraying a brighter look.
David Moyes would likely relish the opportunity to work with the England ace and adding him to Michail Antonio suddenly gives the striking department a whole new dimension.
