Tammy Abraham's decision to choose Swansea over Newcastle is blasted by Micky Quinn: 'Any excuse would be weak... it's a far bigger football club'

Micky Quinn has criticised Tammy Abraham's decision to turn down Newcastle in favour of a move to Swansea, describing his choice as 'weak'.

Sportsmail revealed last week that the Chelsea striker will spend next season on loan at the Liberty Stadium after rejecting the chance to link up with Rafa Benitez.

And Quinn, who played for the Magpies between 1989 and 1992, feels Abraham will regret his decision to sign for what he believes is a smaller club.
