Abram move close as West ham and Roma push to finalize agreement on the same day

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, today's discussions between the two clubs could play a crucial role in shaping the outcome of the negotiations.

Roma are seeking €23m to sell the former Chelsea striker, which falls well within West Ham's transfer budget.

Abraham is also willing to take a cut on his current €6m-a-year wages to smooth the return to London.

Roma are eager for a swift conclusion as they seek to add to coach Daniele de Rossi's squad themselves in the final days of the summer market.
