In a post shared by The Punch, Aston Villa has officially completed the signing of Tammy Abraham from Besiktas. The striker returns to the club where he previously enjoyed a successful loan spell, providing Unai Emery with much-needed firepower as Villa fights for a top-four finish. The deal was part of a flurry of late January activity for the Birmingham-based club, which also saw Douglas Luiz return on loan from Juventus.
NBC Sports confirmed the “In” list for Villa, quoting: “Aston Villa strengthened their ranks with Tammy Abraham joining from Besiktas.” The Guardian’s sports desk reported: “Emery’s tactical acumen is being backed by the board with proven Premier League talent like Abraham.”
Echotitbits take:
Abraham is a “safe” bet for Villa. He knows the club, the league, and he has a point to prove after his stint in Turkey. With Villa emerging as genuine title contenders or at least Champions League locks, his goals could be the difference-maker in the final stretch of the season.
