Tammy Abraham Aston Villa transfer talks are now reaching their final stages, with the striker expected to complete a sensational return to England after Aston Villa struck an agreement with Turkish giants Besiktas.
The deal has been described as a major success for all parties involved, with Turkish journalist Gökmen Özcan claiming the transfer is “like winning the lottery” for Besiktas due to the quick profit generated.
Tammy Abraham Aston Villa transfer nears completion
Aston Villa have agreed a package worth €21m plus highly-rated youngster Yasin Özcan to secure Tammy Abraham’s signature. The former Chelsea striker is expected to fly to England later today to finalise the last steps of the move.
Abraham only arrived at Besiktas last summer on loan from Roma, with a €13m obligation to buy included in the deal. The Turkish club are now activating that clause before immediately selling the striker to Aston Villa, ensuring a significant financial return in a very short space of time.
The England international will not be available for Villa’s upcoming clash against Newcastle United this weekend, as he completes medical checks and registration formalities.
“Like winning the lottery” – Besiktas reaction
Reacting to the deal, Gökmen Özcan could not hide his excitement over how efficiently Besiktas have handled the Tammy Abraham Aston Villa transfer.
“Selling Tammy Abraham at a profit would be an event like winning the lottery,” Özcan said. “Besiktas’ new striker to be acquired will directly affect the situation over the next two years.
The journalist believes the Istanbul club now have a golden opportunity to reinvest the funds wisely, particularly after previous recruitment decisions failed to deliver consistent results.
Villa looking to strengthen attack
From Aston Villa’s perspective, Abraham’s arrival is seen as a timely boost. Unai Emery has been eager to add firepower to his squad, and the former Villa loanee already understands the club, the league and the expectations that come with playing in England.
The deal also fits Villa’s broader transfer strategy, as seen in other recent moves involving attacking reinforcements and squad depth.
Fans will be hopeful that Abraham can rediscover the form that once made him one of the most exciting young forwards in Europe. Related: Aston Villa Tammy Abraham transfer explained in detail
