According to the Daily Mail's Rob Draper, Magpies boss Rafa Benitez has leveraged his close relationship with Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo to seal the deal, as the Blues were planning on keeping Abraham with their first team.
Chelsea want the 19-year-old—who spent last season on loan with Bristol City—to garner Premier League experience, and the deal "is expected to be tied up this weekend."
