ASTON VILLA are interested in signing Tammy Abraham, according to reports.
The striker spent a season on loan at Villa Park in 2018-19, helping the club to promotion from the Championship with 26 goals in 40 games.
He broke into the Chelsea team after that before a £34million switch to Roma, where he scored 27 goals in all competitions last season.

The report claims manager Unai Emery has identified Abraham as the man to improve his attack.
It is claimed Abraham would be open to returning to England, particularly as it could bolster his chances of being called up by Gareth Southgate.

Roma are considering options to replace the 11-cap star too, with Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino top of their wishlist.
