Swansea skipper Leon Britton tips Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham to make the grade as a Blues' striker

Leon Britton believes Tammy Abraham is capable of using Swansea as a stepping stone into the Chelsea first team.

England Under 21 international Abraham scored his first Premier League double as Swansea beat Huddersfield 2-0 on Saturday to climb out of the relegation zone, condemning Terriers to their second-straight defeat.

Britton says the on-loan striker's abilities remind him of his former West Ham youth colleague Jermain Defoe and feels Abraham could become that rare home-grown commodity who breaks through at Chelsea.
