Chelsea starlet Tammy Abraham pens new five-year deal at Stamford Bridge ahead of Swansea loan move
England youngster will join the Swans on loan for the rest of the season
CHELSEA hotshot Tammy Abraham has penned a new contract at Stamford Bridge until 2022.
The striker impressed on loan at Bristol City last season bagging 23 goals in 40 league starts.
And the striker is now set to continue his development in the top flight with Swansea as he closes in on a season-long loan.
Paul Clement's side were waiting for the 19-year-old to commit his future with the Blues before officially announcing the signing.
Swansea fought off serious competition from the likes of Newcastle and Celtic, as SunSport exclusively revealed, to bolster their strike force ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Abraham took to Instagram to post a picture of him signing a contract with the caption: "So happy to have signed a new five-year deal."
But Abraham later deleted the post before Chelsea later confirmed the deal.
The talented forward is highly regarded by the coaching staff at the Blues having joined the academy at the age of seven.
