Tammy Abraham - almost done

[N'ZMAV]

this is taking longer than that Sky Sports New live broadcast of the Nigel Reo-Coker signing press conference

I wonder who we'll loan him to in August.

[Toronto Villa]

Are we moving from almost done to nearly there?

Birmingham City - they'll need a striker for their season in the Premier League

[Toronto Villa]

Tammy Abraham is travelling to England to complete a permanent transfer to Aston Villa from Besiktas.

The striker is set for a medical with the Premier League side on Saturday after the clubs agreed a fee of €21million (£18.1m; $24.7m), with Villa defender Yasin Ozcan moving in the opposite direction as part of the deal.

Abraham, 28, is set to sign a four-and-a-half-year deal with Villa.

that's a long deal

[N'ZMAV]

assuming that's so we can spread the cost for fiancial reporting?

[Tuscans]

🚨 Aston Villa will receive more for Donyell Malen than spent on Tammy Abraham — he also accepted a significant financial sacrifice to join.

I hope it we bagged £15M for Ozcan. He’s rare talent🙄

[DrGonzo]

Basing Oscan’s talent on..?  I feel I might be alone in being happy with this bit of business. I liked Malen but he basically offered the same as Ollie without the ability to hold the ball up. Tammy gives us a different attacking edge, something that will prove more useful when playing teams that are sitting deep and not allowing room behind the back 4.
Even Sancho managed to put a header away from 6 yards yesterday, imagine what an actual striker could do with a few crosses?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

that's a long deal

That's a cracking deal.. for Besiktas. £18.2m in the bank plus a young experienced Turkish player who less that 12 months ago cost us £7m, all that for just sending a cheque to Roma for £9.5m.

[TheToffnar]

Apparently Ozcan only on loan to Bestikas.

Changes the temperature of the deal for me. Would be semi good business if so.

Just seen comments above and not sure what people expect? We're a PL side, of course were paying more?

[rob_bridge]

Its a gpod deal for Tammy.

I hope.in mid April the conversation is who should be picked as Kanes deputy for World Cup bearing in mind the form both Villa's main strikers are in.

I hope it we bagged £15M for Ozcan. He’s rare talent🙄

loan apparently
