Chelsea management is delighted with the progress of Tammy Abraham at Bristol City.

The 19-year-old, who made his professional debut for Chelsea at Liverpool in May, is the top scorer in the Championship with eight goals and has an impressive tally of 11 strikes in just 14 appearances overall.

Chelsea's loan player technical coach Eddie Newton believes he has the quality to make it into Antonio Conte's senior squad one day should he sustain his performances.

He told the London Evening Standard: “We are keeping a close eye on him but the thing I like about Tammy is that he takes on board good advice, works and puts it into action as well. I see a bright future for the young man, I really do.

“Tammy is a very driven young man. The way he articulates himself, you can tell that this boy knows what he wants and where he wants to go to. He knows he has to be patient, but he is not patient at the same time.

“You're always confident with certain players because of the way they mentally apply themselves toward training and to games, he just wants to score goals and to win. He's a winner.

“Our job is to guide him because he will have dips. He's a young player and will have a dip during the season. He has started on fire [at Bristol City] and we are very pleased.

“We are also very aware that it is not going to be plain sailing all the way through the season."
