Bristol City want Chelsea’s Abraham on loan

Bristol City are hoping to tie up a deal to sign teenage striker Tammy Abraham on loan from Chelsea.

A number of League clubs have been eyeing the 18-year-old, who is likely to be loaned out in order for him to gain first-team experience.

Championship side City want to take him to Ashton Gate on a season-long deal and hope the move will be finalised soon.

Abraham has been prolific for Chelsea at youth and Under-21 levels and made his senior debut for the Blues towards the end of last season.

He came on as a substitute at Liverpool and then in the final match of the campaign, against Leicester.
