Nigel Winterburn maintains would be a good fit for Arsenal amid the Roma striker’s top form in Italy.
Abraham swapped for Roma last summer but was linked with a move to the Emirates before joining the Serie A club.
The 24-year-old is thriving under , recently after his brace against Lazio last weekend.
Abraham has also been recalled to Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the upcoming friendly fixtures against Switzerland and Ivory Coast.
While Winterburn doesn’t think the striker would move back to the Premier League next season, the Arsenal legend suggests he would still be a good signing for Mikel Arteta’s side.
‘Back in the summer when he was moving, there was a link with , I don’t know how strong, but he fits into the bill of what Arsenal were trying to do,’ Winterburn told of Abraham.
‘A young player with huge potential, so my opinion doesn’t change that he would have been a great option for Arsenal.
‘I would suggest that if he’s enjoying himself, then he wouldn’t want to move.
‘He’s playing regular football, so I don’t feel like he would move back to England next season.
‘I don’t see why he would move back, sometimes when you move and get that freedom, that game time you wanted and scoring goals it does wonders for you.
‘I always remember Arsene Wenger saying that Nicolas Anelka felt he moved two years too early.
‘I’m not expecting Tammy Abraham to move, someone’s taken a chance on him and he’s repaying that faith.
‘But let’s wait and see, I imagine he’ll be looked at because he’s young and someone who will be on a upwards trajectory, so there’s always going to be interest.
‘I would be surprised if Roma wanted to sell him on, I think he’ll want that security and continue to enjoy himself next season.’
