Brighton boss Hughton targets Chelsea striker Abraham

Brighton boss Chris Hughton is chasing Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham for their Premier League debut.

The Sun says Hughton knows he needs to to add fresh talent to his strike force despite the club securing promotion to the Premier League – and Abraham is in his sights.

The 19-year-old has been a revelation during a season-long loan at Bristol City where he has scored 26 goals for the Championship club.

And that has convinced Hughton he could be the ideal man to come in to offer a different striking option to veteran Glenn Murray and Sam Baldock.

The England under-21 star has attracted the interest of a number of top flight clubs with Everton and Leicester both keen on trying to secure a permanent deal for him.
