The Blues were believed to be seeking a £40million fee for the England international, but SunSport revealed they are now prepared to slash their asking price to £30m.
Abraham showed Mikel Arteta his abilities on Sunday as he scored the winner at the Emirates in a pre-season clash.
As well as Arsenal, the likes of the Hammers, Tottenham and Aston Villa have all been credited with an interest in the ex-Bristol City loanee.
But it is Arsenal who are claimed to be leading the race to prise Abraham away from West London, according to reputable West Ham insider ExWHUemployee.
He has stated that Abraham is now unwilling to ply his trade at the London Stadium, with the player having his heart set on a move to join his boyhood club.
Speaking on The West Ham Way Patreon site, he said: “The move for Tammy Abraham doesn’t appear to be happening at the moment.
“The player doesn’t really want to join the club.
“I think he has his eyes set on Arsenal regardless of whether we meet his wages demands, wages demands that have also been described as excessive.”

Arsenal are looking to cash in on Alexandre Lacazette in order to fund a move for Abraham.
With just one year left on his deal, the 30-year-old will not be offered a new contract.
Now they are trying to find a buyer willing to pay a fee in the region of £15m as well as matching Lacazette’s substantial £175,000-a-week salary.

Arsenal transfer blow with Atletico Madrid ‘favourites to sign Lautaro Martinez’ as Inter Milan target Joaquin Correa
by Philippa Kaur 2 August 2021, 01:38
ARSENAL have been dealt a transfer blow with Atletico Madrid the new favourites to sign Lautaro Martinez, according to reports.The Gunners are on the hunt for a new striker with Alexandre Lacazette’s contract expiring next summer.

And they had identified the Inter Milan striker as a potential replacement with the Argentine expected to leave the San Siro.
He even switched agent to Alejandro Camano who sealed team-mate Hakim Achraf’s transfer to PSG this summer.
However, AS in Spain state Atletico want to wrap up a deal ahead of Arsenal.
The Italian giants Inter could target Lazio ace Joaquin Correa as a replacement transfer if they lose their current star.
Martinez, 23, has 49 goals in 132 Inter appearances and helped them to the Serie A title last season.
There are two years left on his current contract, which includes a £100million release clause.
Arsenal made an ambitious enquiry to see if they could land the forward amid conversations over Hector Bellerin.
Martinez is on a fairly modest salary at Inter – earning around £40,000 per week – although he would likely increase that significantly should he move to the Emirates.
However, additional reports suggest he does not fancy the transfer, especially with no European football on offer under Mikel Arteta next season.

Barcelona were previously interested but are financially wrecked so need to make serious cuts to the wage bill.
And that could pave the way for Atleti to swoop.
Martinez has just returned to Milan following his summer exploits winning the Copa America with Argentina.

Mikel Arteta reveals Granit Xhaka is STAYING at Arsenal despite midfielder pushing for Roma transfer
by Philippa Kaur 1 August 2021, 18:27
MIKEL ARTETA insists that Granit Xhaka is staying at Arsenal after talks over a move to Jose Mourinho’s Roma collapsed. The 28-year-old Swiss international captain had his heart set on a move to Serie A after five years at the Emirates.

But Arteta said: “Granit is going to stay with us. He is a key member of our squad and a player that we rate and value so much.
“He only trained for two days but still wanted to play in this game and I think that is a very clear commitment from him that he wants to be here.”
Xhaka scored a 70th minute equaliser for Arsenal in their 2-1 home friendly defeat to Chelsea.
And the Gunners are now believed to be ready to offer their former captain a new contract after Roma failed to meet their asking price.
The midfielder has two years remaining on his current contract and Arsenal do not want to risk Xhaka leaving on a free transfer.
The Gunners reportedly rejected a £13million offer from Mourinho’s Italians earlier this summer despite Xhaka all-but confirming he wanted to leave.
He said: “Arsenal know what I want to do… it is very beautiful here [in Rome].”
Now Arteta wants to hold on to the combative midfielder as he attempts to win over the Arsenal fans and revive the club.

The Gunners missed out on qualification for Europe last season and the club are lacking experience in their team.
Xhaka, 28, has spent five years with Arsenal and made 45 appearances for the club last season.
But he has had a chequered relationship with their fans after swearing at them as he was booed off the pitch in 2019.

Arsenal dealt transfer blow as Sheffield United boss stands firm over £30m-rated goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale
by Philippa Kaur 1 August 2021, 14:52
ARSENAL’S hopes of landing Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale have reportedly hit a stumbling block. New Blades boss Slavisa Jokanovic is standing firm over the keeper and does not want to sell him.

Jokanovic, who intends to hold on to Ramsdale and midfielder Sander Berge, told Yorkshire Live: “If you ask me if I will sell, no.
“I will be hurt if they leave my team. I understand this possibility exists but I hope that will not happen.
“I am not worried, I am happy with them (Ramsdale and Berge) and I trust they will stay with me and I trust they can be happy working with me and their Sheffield United team-mates.”
The Gunners have been heavily linked with a £30million move for Ramsdale this summer.
Mikel Arteta wants to bring in competition for keeper Bernd Leno and Ramsdale is one of their main targets.
But the Blades want to hold on to their best players as they attempt to secure an immediate return to the Premier League.
Ramsdale, 23, was in England’s squad for Euro 2020 this summer after being called up to replace the injured Dean Henderson.

Arsenal strengthened their defence last week by splashing out £50m on Brighton centre-back Ben White.
Arteta is under pressure after the team missed out on European qualification last season.
But it appears any move for Ramsdale will be expensive if they are to prise him away from the Championship club.

Arsenal star Cedric Soares wanted in Fenerbahce transfer with full-back out of Mikel Arteta’s first-team plans
by Philippa Kaur 1 August 2021, 12:27
FENERBAHCE are considering signing Arsenal star Cedric Soares, according to reports.The Portuguese full-back, 29, joined the Gunners initially on loan in 2020, before it was announced the deal was made permanent that summer.

However, he has failed to win a first team spot – having been mostly used as cover when Kieran Tierney was injured last term.
And when the Scotland international returned, Soares couldn’t shift Hector Bellerin and Callum Chambers for the right-back berth.
Soares’ lack of action has buoyed Fenerbahce, who have targeted the Portugal international.
Last month, the Süper Lig club appointed his fellow countryman Vitor Pereira as boss.
According to Fotomac, Pereira is a fan of Soares and sees him fitting in perfectly on the right of 3-4-3 and at right-back in a 4-4-2.
But, Fenerbahce are reportedly eyeing a loan deal with the option to buy.
Back in the January transfer window, the Turks added ex-Arsenal star Mesut Ozil to their ranks.

And they’ve also been linked with a move for outcast Sead Kolasinac.
The Bosnian is said to be negotiations to terminate his deal in North London.
If that can be agreed, Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur believes it’s likely he will sign for Fenerbahce on a free transfer.

Arsenal outcast Kolasinac ‘negotiating contract termination’ as defender eyes Fenerbahce transfer move and Ozil reunion
by Philippa Kaur 31 July 2021, 15:07
ARSENAL outcast Sead Kolasinac is reportedly in negotiations to terminate his deal with the club.The Bosnian left-back, 28, is deemed to be surplus to requirements at the Emirates, after the signing of Portuguese defender Nuno Tavares.

And that’s led to both parties discussing the possibility of tearing up Kolasinac’s £100,000-per-week contract, according to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur.
If that can be agreed, Konur believes it’s likely he will sign for Fenerbahce on a free transfer.
Moving to the Turkish giants would mean Kolasiniac is reunited with pal Mesut Ozil.
The international full-back was sent on loan to Schalke for the second half of last season.
However, he was unable to help the club avoid relegation from the Bundesliga, after 33 seasons in the top flight.
Kolasinac joined the Gunners on a free transfer in 2017, but was inconsistent in his performances for the club.
He fell down the pecking order in 2019, when Arsenal signed Kieran Tierney for £25million from Celtic.
And last season, boss Mikel Areta preferred to play Cedric Soares out of position as left-back cover instead of Kolasinac.
Should Fenerbahce be successful in signing Kolasinac, he will join Ozil in their first team squad.
Famously, the pair were attacked by a gang of knife-wielding thugs on mopeds in North London in 2019.

Brave Kolasinac confronted the men with his fists and warded off the robbers, who got away empty-handed.
The men involved were caught and convicted of a string of attacks and robberies in the area.
Jordan Northover was sentenced to 18-years behind bars, while his accomplice Ashley Smith was given 10-years, which was reduced to six for his part in the attempted robbery of the footballers.

He has already scored against Jamaica and is now preparing for the final against Mexico tomorrow night.
However, American reporter Grant Wahl has claimed he is expecting Hoppe to be on the move from Germany after the tournament.
And he says that Schalke have already received contact from the Premier League.
Both Arsenal and Everton are believed to have enquired about the hotshot.
Hoppe is under contract with the German club until 2023.
He burst onto the scene with a hat-trick against Hoffenheim in January.
That was followed by strikes against Eintracht Frankfurt and Cologne in his next two outings.
But he was only able to add one more goal to his tally for the rest of the season.

And despite his best efforts, it was not enough to stop Schalke from dropping out of the Bundesliga.
Now he seems certain to depart following relegation and may soon be gracing England’s top-flight.
Hoppe currently has one goal in four caps for his country but will be desperate to grab another one in Sunday’s showdown.

by Philippa Kaur 31 July 2021, 10:08

Mikel Arteta’s side have long been in talks with Inter Milan over the potential sale of defender Hector Bellerin.
According to The Athletic, sources have said that Arsenal have asked about Martinez’s availability in discussions over the Spanish full-back.
It has also been claimed that the hotshot striker would be interested in a move to North London, if Inter decide to cash in on their star.
The same report says Tottenham are also in the frame, but only if Harry Kane leaves the club.
A move for Martinez may only materialise if the Premier League giants can sell Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah.
Lacazette has been reportedly mentioned in a deal, but cash-strapped Inter are said to want only money.
Martinez is on a fairly modest salary at Inter – earning around £2.1million per-year.

It is thought should he move to Arsenal, he would receive a sizeable increase in wages.
Arteta has been linked to a number of strikers this summer, as he looks bolster his squad for next season following a disappointing campaign last term.
Chelsea star Tammy Abraham is said to be also under consideration by the Gunners’ hierarchy, although a deal for Sweden’s Aleksander Isak was scuppered when he recently signed a new contract with Real Sociedad.
