Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham joins Swansea on season-long loan

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has joined Swansea City on a season-long loan deal.

Abraham, who has also signed a five-year contract extension at Chelsea, had also been wanted on a loan basis by newly promoted Newcastle United.

The move to Swansea sees the 19-year-old link up with former Chelsea assistant first-team coach Paul Clement as well as former Blues midfielder Claude Makelele, Clement's assistant.

Abraham established himself as one of the brightest young talents in English football during a loan spell at Bristol City last season, scoring 23 goals in 41 league appearances to help the club survive following their promotion to the Championship.
