Villa’s ‘Impossible’ Tammy Abraham Chase Ends With $25M Breakthrough in Istanbul

Villa executives Damian Vidagany and Roberto Olabe flew to Istanbul early to finish Emery’s striker hunt. Besiktas resisted losing Abraham after triggering a €13m ($15.6m) Roma buy obligation, and one Villa figure called it 'impossible.' Breakthrough came Friday: Villa agreed on €21m ($25m) and traded Turkish defender Yasin Ozcan, handing Abraham a four-and-a-half-year deal.
