Arsenal 'offer Roma Alexandre Lacazette to boost Tammy Abraham bid'

Arsenal are reportedly ready to give Roma the opportunity to sign Alexandre Lacazette for £15m before the end of the summer transfer window.

Since the start of the week, it has been suggested that Roma are in negotiations with Chelsea regarding the signing of Tammy Abraham.

The Gunners have also been linked with a move for the Englishman, who has barely featured for the Blues since the January arrival of Thomas Tuchel.

According to Calciomercato, Arsenal will allow Lacazette to move to Stadio Olimpico if it boosts their chances of signing Abraham.

Roma would allegedly have to pay Chelsea in multiple installments to secure a £40m deal for Abraham, as well as handing the European champions a buy-back clause.

Arsenal hope that a transfer involving Lacazette makes more sense to Roma as they look to replace Edin Dzeko.
