Chelsea are ready to cut short the loan at Aston Villa of Tammy Abraham.

Blues management are delighted with the progress of Abraham this season at Villa Park - so much so that they wish to bring him back to Stamford Bridge in January.

The Mirror says Chelsea intend to recall the striker and register him with Maurizio Sarri's squad for the second-half of the season.

Abraham scored four goals in the 5-5 draw with Nottingham Forest last week.

Sarri would add him to his squad with the intention to play the striker given hs team's problems in front of goal this season.
