Tammy Abraham knows how this story ends. Unless there is an unexpected turn of events, his Chelsea career will come to a close this summer.
It will be wrench, of course. He has been a Blue since the age of seven, emerging from their academy to wear the club’s coveted No 9 shirt. But he cannot suffer another season like this.
Finding a new club won’t be a problem; there are already a host of suitors in the Premier League and abroad lining up to take Abraham next season.
West Ham and Leicester are among those interested, and Sportsmail is assured there are numerous others.
