Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham credits coach Joe Edwards for his stunning form this season.

Abraham is loving the experience of playing alongside some of his peers whom he grew up alongside at the academy, not to mention working under coaches who have guided him every step of the way.

"It's always been the thing that there are people who have faith in the Academy, for a long time now," he tells Chelsea Magazine. "We've had great players come and go, but there is no better time for the likes of me, Mason, Fikayo and the others to be at Chelsea, with such a good manager, who believes in young talent and has worked with us as well.

"This season, I've joined the first team at the same time that Joe [Edwards] has moved onto the coaching team and I've worked with him from a really young age. I think I was in the first group he coached, actually, so he has a lot of stories about me!

"Joe's been a huge part of my growth at the club. I have to give credit to the others who have coached me as well, but he was my first coach at Chelsea and my manager in the Under-18s, so we had that journey together. He told me when I was wrong, he pushed me to the max and I will always respect him for that. Now, I'm here in the first team with him as well, and playing for Frank Lampard."
