Chelsea ace Tammy Abraham: I want to retire saying I did it all

Chelsea ace Tammy Abraham admits he has big ambitions for his career.

The England international enjoyed an impressive first full season as a senior Blues player last term.

"I want to look back on my career when I retire saying I left everything out there and I did the best I could," said Abraham to the club's website.

"Of course, I want achievements like the Premier League, Champions League, World Cups, Golden Boots.

"I have all of that on my radar but my aim is just to be able to retire and say I did it all."

Abraham admits winning a first England call-up two years remains a highlight.

"The feeling of getting called up for England is massive because it means that you're doing the right things and everyone knows what you're doing.

"It hit me on my first call-up. After growing up watching the likes of Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson, actually being on the same pitch as them and training with them day-in, day-out was a mad feeling for me.

"Times like that you never forget and maybe the younger generation will feel like that looking up to me one day as well."
