Aston Villa are planning a double raid on Chelsea for England pair Tammy Abraham and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Villa boss Dean Smith will push to secure their signatures with the duo deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, says the Daily Star.

Abraham is well known to the current Villa boss having scored 25 goals for the club in the 2018/19 promotion season during a loan stint.

And Smith is now ready to table an offer worth in excess of £30 million to bring the 23-year-old back to the Midlands.

Abraham has played a bit-part role for the Blues this season with just 22 Premier League appearances and six goals.

Loftus-Cheek, meanwhile, will be offered to clubs again this summer after a challenging season-long stay at Fulham.
