Aston Villa have confirmed the permanent signing of England international striker Tammy Abraham from Beşiktaş on Tuesday, completing a complex transfer that saw the 28-year-old briefly join the Turkish club from AS Roma before returning to the Premier League. The reported £18 million deal includes additional terms, according to club and league sources.

Abraham, who previously starred for Villa on loan in 2018-19, signed his contract at Villa Park after Beşiktaş activated an obligation to buy the striker from Roma earlier in the week. Beşiktaş then agreed terms with Villa, allowing Abraham’s swift return to England, the club stated.

The forward, capped multiple times by England, is expected to bolster Villa’s attacking options as manager Unai Emery seeks depth amid a Premier League season in which the side sit among the title contenders. Abraham’s move arrives during the winter transfer window after a productive spell in Turkey, where he scored regularly before the permanent switch.

Villa confirmed the transfer on their official club channels but did not disclose specific contract length or add-on details. Local and international football authorities have registered the transaction ahead of Villa’s upcoming fixtures, with Abraham potentially available for selection in domestic competition.

Abraham first joined Villa on loan from Chelsea in 2018, scoring 25 goals and helping the club achieve promotion to the Premier League. Since then, he has played for Roma, AC Milan on loan, and Beşiktaş. His return is seen as a reunion with a club where he previously enjoyed significant success.
