Aston Villa have included a young player in their latest offer to sign Tammy Abraham from Turkish side Besiktas, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Villans are looking to sign a new striker to provide back-up for England international Ollie Watkins as they hope to put pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n
Third-placed Aston Villa<\/a> are just seven points behind Arsenal, who occupy the Premier League summit, and reinforcements over the winter could help Unai Emery\u2019s side attempt to close the gap.<\/p>\n And former Chelsea striker Abraham \u2013 who joined Besiktas in the summer on loan with an obligation to buy \u2013 is their top target in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n Turkish journalist\u00a0Sercan Dikme for Sports Digitale insists that Aston Villa have now offered deal worth \u20ac21m plus 19-year-old Yasin Ozcan, who they signed from\u00a0Kas\u0131mpasa last year.<\/p>\n Dikme wrote on X<\/a>: \u2018EXCLUSIVE | In the Tammy Abraham talks between Be\u015fikta\u015f and Aston Villa, the Yasin \u00d6zcan +21 Million Euro offer is seriously on the table. Details are being discussed.\u2019<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Big Weekend: Arsenal v Manchester United, Aston Villa, Mo Salah, Oliver Glasner<\/a><\/p>\n And transfer journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed later on Friday that Abraham is \u2018set to re-sign\u2019 for Aston Villa after the Villans struck a \u2018verbal agreement\u2019.<\/p>\n Jacobs wrote on X<\/a>: \u2018Aston Villa set to re-sign Tammy Abraham after reaching a verbal agreement with Besiktas pending final details. As revealed last week, optimism a deal could be reached despite a complicated negotiation that required multiple trips to Turkey. Abraham has already agreed to the move and if all goes to plan, he will return to Villa Park where he spent 2018\/19 on loan and scored 26 goals. Formalities expected to start within the next 24 hours.\u2019<\/p>\n Before the news about Abraham, Fenerbache striker\u00a0Youssef En-Nesyri was rumoured to be another option if a deal for Abraham failed with Fabrizio Romano revealing Aston Villa have \u2018called\u2019 in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n Romano said on X: \u2018Youssef En-Nesyri will decide his future soon with several clubs keen. After Napoli and Juventus, Aston Villa also called in the last 24h. Villa have been working on Tammy Abraham deal for days, agreed on player side but still not with Besiktas. Italian clubs remain keen.\u2019<\/p>\n And now Football Transfers journalist Duncan Castles has claimed that<\/a> Aston Villa are also exploring a potential move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos.<\/p>\n Castles said: \u201cRamos is something of a perennial presence in the market. He\u2019s a high-profile striker who has scored consistently throughout his career. This season at Paris Saint-Germain he has six goals in 24 league and Champions League appearances, primarily off the bench. Last season he scored 13 in 34 games, despite being injured for several months.<\/p>\n MORE ASTON VILLA COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 \u201cHe doesn\u2019t start regularly for PSG because Luis Enrique prefers Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 in the central role for tactical reasons. Ramos has long been considered a good fit for the Premier League and has an interest in moving there.<\/p>\n \u201cThe guidance I have is that PSG are very much against a move at this point. They want to keep their squad intact for the remainder of the season, mainly because they don\u2019t believe they can source a replacement of similar quality immediately.<\/p>\n \u201cPSG are extremely effective in recruitment and tend to work on deals well in advance. They already have replacements in mind for Ramos, but they can\u2019t acquire them now, so they don\u2019t want to sell and will resist any approach.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s also worth mentioning that Unai Emery and Gonzalo Ramos share the same agent, which can be helpful in facilitating a deal like this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aston Villa have included a young player in their latest offer to sign Tammy Abraham from Turkish side…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":386299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[2604,218,348,50,221,101,143459,56,1955,54,55],"class_list":["post-386298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-aston-villa","tag-football","tag-home-page","tag-news","tag-premier-league","tag-sports","tag-tammy-abraham","tag-uk","tag-uncategorized","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
