‘Abraham needs to be a bad boy like Drogba’ – Chelsea striker urged to find ‘nastiness’

The England international has impressed since being given his big break at Stamford Bridge, but Mario Melchiot wants him to be more than a finisher

Tammy Abraham needs to become “a bad boy” in the Didier Drogba mould, says Mario Melchiot, with the Chelsea striker told to add some “nastiness” to his game.

The 21-year-old has already shown that he is a capable finisher, with seven goals scored so far this season.

Abraham’s haul includes a hat-trick against Norwich, with history made in that contest as he became the youngest player to record a treble for the Blues in the Premier League.
