Swansea City assistant coach Claude Makelele is delighted with what he's seen from on-loan Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.

Abraham is spending the season on loan at Swansea City, under the tutelage of former Chelsea assistant Paul Clement and Makelele, who won two league titles with the Blues between 2003 and 2008.

"He has great quality but he needs to work," Makelele told the London Evening Standard at the ASPIRE4SPORT Congress & Exhibition. “He's young and he has time on his side. He wants to be one of the best strikers in the Premier League. He gets an example in the way Drogba and Eto'o play. But to do that he must work like they did.

“Can he play for Chelsea? I hope so. He needs to be successful with Swansea first and learn more and more to come back and push for Antonio Conte's team. It's going to be difficult. He needs to adapt very well but we will push him. But he has to show the ambition to reach the top.

“I tell him to do everything: run, fight. Some young players think about dribbling but they need to understand about their team-mates. He is fast. Go in space and you'll make the difference for your team-mates. It all depends on him. He's good. But he has to push himself and learn more. Then he can be one of the best strikers in the Premier League."
