Aston Villa have agreed a deal allowing Tammy Abraham to join Ipswich Town on loan, with the striker now deciding whether to accept the move. The development comes as Unai Emery completely reshapes his forward line following the agreements involving Nicolas Jackson and Ollie Watkins.
talkSPORT reports that Ipswich have reached a club-to-club agreement with Villa for Abraham.
The proposed transfer is a straight season-long loan, with no permanent option or obligation included.
Ipswich are now waiting for the 28-year-old’s decision and have reportedly offered him their vacant No.9 shirt.
Aston Villa ready to loan Tammy Abraham to Ipswich
Villa had already been prepared to consider suitable offers for Abraham despite only bringing him back to the club from Besiktas in January.
His position has become clearer following a dramatic 24 hours at Villa Park.
Villa have agreed a deal worth up to £65million for Nicolas Jackson, while Ollie Watkins is heading to Al-Hilal.
Abraham made 17 appearances after returning to Villa last season, scoring three goals, but only started twice in the Premier League.
His campaign was also affected by a shoulder problem which eventually required surgery.
The former Chelsea and Roma striker had hoped to challenge for a bigger role this season, but Jackson’s impending arrival has pushed him further down Emery’s attacking order.
Ipswich can now offer Abraham the regular Premier League football that appears unlikely at Villa Park.
The agreement does not guarantee his departure, however.
Abraham must still give his approval before the loan can be completed, leaving the final decision with the striker.
