Footballive.ng reports that, though Abraham has also been touted with deals at Crystal Palace and Fulham, the lad on loan from Chelsea could be heading to Ikeme\u2019s former club instead.<\/p>\n
Wolves have a strong tradition with players of Nigerian descent, in a track record that has included Ola Aina, Fikayo Tomori and Dominic Iorfa Jnr, such that Abraham joining the list might not be misplaced.<\/p>\n
Abraham has fired 16 goals during his spell at Villa this season, but the England international is expected to be recalled by Chelsea this month before moving on loan to a modest club in the English Premier League.<\/p>\n
Abraham\u2019s goals and form in the English Championship goals this season make him the joint-leading scorer in the second tier, such that suitors for his signature this month are not in short supply.<\/p>\n
Abraham, who made his England debut against Germany in November 2018, has previously played in the EPL for Chelsea and Swansea City, but only managed five league goals during a loan spell with the latter.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, Abraham is still considered a prized asset, and Ikeme\u2019s former club now lead the race for the 21-year-old, as they look for a striker to compete with Raul Jimenez in the final third of the field.<\/p>\n
However, Villa manager, Dean Smith says he hopes Abraham will stay with the club and not be recalled by Chelsea.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old scored both goals in the 2-2 home Sky Bet Championship draw against rapidly improving QPR, after which Smith said: \u201cTammy has shown no inclination to go back to Chelsea.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very happy with the way Tammy is developing as a player and as a person. He is very happy and you can see the connection he has the supporters, the players and staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cChelsea seem very happy as he developing as a player and scoring goals in the Championship. For all three parties it is a win, win, win.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I would be amazed if anything happened to prevent him playing for Villa. But it is not in my control. If Chelsea decide to recall him it is up to them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the conversations I\u2019ve had with him he is enjoying himself at Villa and is developing as a player.\u201d<\/p>\n
Retired Nigerian goalkeeper, Carl Onuoha Ikeme\u2019s former English club, Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly at the head of a long queue that is said to be in the hunt for Aston Villa striker, Tammy Abraham.
