Chelsea coach Viveash: Tammy Abraham has surprised us

Chelsea reserves coach Adi Viveash admits Tammy Abraham's success with Bristol City has surprised him.

He is the second top scorer in the Championship, behind Newcastle's Dwight Gayle, with nine goals and has also weighed in with two assists.

Viveash said: "You could not envisage Tammy hitting the ground running like he has.

"But what Tammy has is a massive enthusiasm for the game.

"He just loves playing football and he loves scoring goals.

"You can see that by the goals he scores - though we have reminded him that most of them are tap ins, but that does not really matter.

"He is a top kid, he is a very nice kid Tammy, and he will be learning a lot about Championship defenders."
