TAMMY ABRAHAM might have to ditch one of his childhood dreams if Tottenham beat favourites Arsenal in the race to sign him.

The Chelsea striker has admitted he was a Gunners fan who idolised their strike legend Thierry Henry.

West Ham have also been linked with the £40million-rated England star.

But Arsenal are tipped to land the 23-year-old on loan for the season, with an obligation to buy.

And that might revive sweet memories for the Londoner.

Back in 2017 he said: “To be honest I was an Arsenal fan.

“It didn’t make any difference at Chelsea.

 “When you’re young and you choose who to support, it’s a family thing… so it wasn’t really a problem at Chelsea.”

But despite having six caps, Abraham’s status at Stamford Bridge has faded since Thomas Tuchel succeeded Frank Lampard in January.

And a first-team spot for Chelsea would seem even tougher to gain early this coming season as Tuchel is reportedly hunting a new world-class frontman.

But ex-Blues hitman Romelu Lukaku is rated as a cheaper option, having shone for Serie A champs Inter Milan last term.
