Romano: Aston Villa, currently third in the Premier League, plans to strengthen their attack in the winter transfer window by signing 28-year-old Abraham.

Under Emery’s leadership, Aston Villa has advanced quickly in recent seasons. Currently, after 21 rounds in the Premier League, they sit third, tied on points with second-place Manchester City, and are strong contenders for this year’s Europa League title. Emery plans to reinforce the attacking line in the winter transfer period to handle the demands of multiple competitions more effectively.

According to the latest report from Italian journalist Romano, Aston Villa intends to sign the 28-year-old English striker Abraham, who is currently on loan at Besiktas from Roma, during the winter transfer window. Villa has already initiated preliminary talks about Abraham’s transfer, and the player is very interested in returning to the Premier League.

Abraham, a Chelsea academy product, has played for Chelsea, Aston Villa, Roma, and AC Milan. This summer, the English forward was sidelined by Roma and loaned to Turkish powerhouse Besiktas. The loan deal includes a mandatory purchase clause set at 13 million euros.

Now 28 years old and in his prime, Abraham stands 1.94 meters tall and is a right-footed center forward. Transfermarkt values him at 14 million euros. This season, he has appeared in 17 Turkish Super Lig matches, starting 14 times, and has scored 7 goals with 1 assist. Abraham is also a former England international, having earned 11 caps for the Three Lions, contributing 3 goals and 1 assist. Emery’s tactical expertise could help Abraham revive his career upon returning to Aston Villa. With Villa competing on multiple fronts this season, Abraham has a great opportunity to make an impact as a striker. He must seize this chance to return to the top five European leagues and prove himself on a high-level stage.
