Burnley defender Mee praises Chelsea youngsters: Abraham's a good talent

Burnley defender Ben Mee is happy seeing Chelsea youngsters get their chance this season.

Mee saw up close the potential of Chelsea on Saturday in their 4-2 defeat.

“They have all got fantastic academies (in the Premier League) and when you see the young lads coming through it definitely brings an excitement to watching the games when you see the young lads doing well," said Mee before the game.

“There are a few at Chelsea doing really well and lads at (Manchester) United – good players are really getting a chance from these good academies.

“You definitely want to see more of that. They have to be good enough to be given that chance and there's a lot of pressure on managers to get success.

Tammy Abraham is flying at the minute, he's playing well and scoring goals. He's a good talent."
