Amokachi Hails Tammy Abraham as Besiktas’ Next Bull
Besiktas legend Daniel Amokachi has given his enthusiastic seal of approval to the club’s latest signing, Tammy Abraham. The former Nigerian international, affectionately dubbed "The Bull," shared his excitement over Abraham’s loan move from AS Roma, which includes a €2 million loan fee and an obligatory purchase of €13 million next season, contingent on certain conditions.
Amokachi praised Abraham’s robust forward play and physical presence, asserting that he fits perfectly into the high-energy style of Turkish football. He confidently described Abraham as "the next Bull," a nod to his own enduring legacy at the club.
Tammy Abraham, aged 27, underwent his medical in Istanbul after arriving late on Tuesday. He expressed delight at joining Besiktas, stating "It’s great to finally be in Istanbul… I feel very proud". The England-born striker will wear the black-and-white jersey as the club targets domestic glory and stronger international recognition.
Besiktas plan to complete the move into a permanent deal after the 2025–26 campaign, with Abraham signing a contract that would run until 2029 and bring in about €5 million annually.
Editorial
We celebrate Besiktas’ bold acquisition of Tammy Abraham, a striker whose pedigree and physicality perfectly embody the club’s attacking ethos. Amokachi’s endorsement as "the next Bull" isn’t mere flattery it reflects a belief that Abraham carries a similar mix of power, determination and flair to his predecessor.
Securing Abraham on a performance-based loan with an obligation to buy is a strategically sound move. It both addresses AS Roma's Financial Fair Play constraints and grants Besiktas a clear path to ownership, maintaining squad continuity and ambition. His €13m eventual transfer fee seems prudent given his record at Roma and AC Milan.
