Tammy Abraham<\/a> is a summer target for Aston Villa; however, only if they get promoted to the Premier League, according to John Percy of The Telegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa Keen to Sign Abraham if Promoted to Premier League<\/h1>\n

The Villains Have the Advantage Over West Brom Heading Into Their Playoff Second-leg and Will Hope to Sign the Chelsea<\/a>\u00a0Forward Permanently if Promoted.<\/h2>\n

The England international moved towards the Sky Bet Championship play-off final with his 26th goal of the season; however, the Villains may look to sign Abraham permanently for a rumoured fee of around \u00a325 million if they secure promotion.<\/p>\n

Villa went a step closer to reaching the Premier League as they came from behind to beat West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. Abraham’s penalty gave the Villains a slender advantage heading into Tuesday’s second-leg, with West Brom<\/a>‘s Dwight Gayle<\/a> sent-off late on.<\/p>\n

Tammy Abraham, who is three-goals behind current top-scorer Teemu Pukki<\/a>, has set his sights on promotion to the top flight after three years away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aim is 30 goals and I will keep going. It has been a fantastic season, everyone has supported me and believed in me,\u201d he said to The Telegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people believe in you it gives you that extra confidence. I would like to think this squad is ready for the Premier League. We have come all this way and we have to keep going.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re halfway there, we still have a massive game against West Brom on Tuesday.\u00a0We have a great side and we will just have to find a way to beat them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Albion were in control for 70 minutes and led through Gayle’s clinical finish. However, Villa responded through substitute Conor Hourihane<\/a>‘s 75th-minute equaliser. Abraham converted from the spot four minutes later after Kieran Gibbs<\/a> was judged to have fouled Jack Grealish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Albion insist the midfielder dived, although the FA will wait until referee Graham Scott submits his report before deciding whether to take possible retrospective action.<\/p>\n
