Chelsea ace Tammy Abraham wanted by Aston Villa…but striker wants to stay in Premier League

TAMMY ABRAHAM is a man in demand and Aston Villa are the latest side to have set their sights on the young striker.

But after having a taste of the Premier League with Swansea last season, the 20-year-old wants to stay in the top-tier of English football.

Abraham scored five times for the Welsh outfit last season,  but it wasn't enough to save the Swans from relegation.

But having show he can score in the top flight the young striker hungry for more.

The 20-year-old is yet another product of Chelsea's youth system who went and impressed during a loan spell last term.

So much so that he featured prominently for the Blues on their pre-season tour.

But chances under Maurizio Sarri look like they will be limited and a loan deal likely.

If a Premier League club don't come calling for the young striker in the next week, he may have to drop down to the Championship in order to get more first-team football.

Having signed for Chelsea as an Under-8, he rose through the ranks making a name for himself thanks to his impressive goal haul.

In 2013/14, Abraham made his youth team debut as an U16, but found the back of the net just two weeks later for the U18 side against London rivals West Ham.

And in 2014/15, he bagged 32 goals in 26 appearances for the youth team, including in the FA Youth Cup final, home and away legs, against Manchester City.

Abraham's first loan spell with a first team was with Bristol City in 2016/17 where he became the highest-scoring teenager in Championship history and helped the club avoid relegation.

But unfortunately, he couldn't manage it a second time with Swansea.

Back in 2017, the Blues secured his services for another five years, before sending him to Swansea under former Chelsea coach Paul Clement.

He subsequently made a name for himself in the Premier League, but may have to drop down to the Championship in continue his goal-scoring magic.
