Ian Wright pins his colours to mast and urges Arsenal to sign ‘King of Rome’

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has said he would love to see the ‘King of Rome’ Tammy Abraham in a Gunners shirt next season.

Abraham left Chelsea for Serie A last summer and he has “lit it up”, according to Wright. It’s hard to disagree, with Abraham blasting 15 goals in 29 Serie A appearances. The 24-year-old has also grabbed three assists after his £34m switch.
