Arsenal are currently eyeing a replacement striker in the summer as they prepare to be left desperately short up front.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had his contract ripped up in the January window as he joined Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Alexandre Lacazette's contract expires at the end of the season, as does Eddie Nketiah's.
And Wright feels Abraham could be the perfect solution to Mikel Arteta's problems.

Speaking on , he said: "Tammy has the hunger to finish the chances that Arsenal are not finishing right now.
"They are making chances but someone is not in there taking them.
“Tammy is at that stage now where he would be in there gobbling all that up.
"I think so [he’s ready now]. Absolutely. He’s gone to Roma and it’s a massive club and he’s the main man, he was from the first game."

Despite Abraham's success at Roma, it is becoming less likely that he will be playing Champions League football next season.
Jose Mourinho's side currently sit sixth in Serie A, eight points off the top four.
By contrast, Arsenal are the frontrunners for fourth place in the Premier League, leading North London rivals Tottenham by three points with a game in hand.
