Chelsea management warn Tammy Abraham against Newcastle move

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has been urged to reject Newcastle United.

The Mirror says Newcastle's party culture has Chelsea management concerned.

Chelsea are believed to have advised the 19-year-old against joining the Magpies, because they felt there were too many off-field distractions for a well-paid teenage footballer. They were worried that a city famed for its nights out would prove to be too much of a goldfish bowl for Abraham in a season away from Stamford Bridge.

Now the forward will join Swansea once the European Under-21 Championship in Poland is over, linking up again with Liberty ­Stadium boss Paul Clement, who spent time at ­Stamford Bridge as ­assistant manager.
