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.
Borussia Dortmund goal machine Erling Haaland remains the ideal option, with the Blues ready to offer £135m.
But ex-Blues hitman Romelu Lukaku is rated as a cheaper option, having shone for Serie A champs Inter Milan last term.
