West Ham United are interested in signing Roma striker Tammy Abraham on an initial loan deal, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The England international recovered from a serious knee injury last season and he is currently out of contention for a starting role.
Artem Dovbyk is the preferred striker under manager Daniele De Rossi and this could urge Abraham to consider a new challenge.
Abraham has been linked with a Premier League return for some time and it is claimed that West Ham could make a move to sign him.
The Hammers recruited Niclas Fullkrug to bolster their frontline earlier this summer, but they are eyeing another quality marksman.
Abraham is available for a package of around £19m, but the Hammers could sign him on loan with a conditional obligation to buy.
Roma are likely to accept such a proposal, considering they are aiming to land a new centre-forward before the window closes on Friday evening.
