'Tammy Abraham reminds me of Jermain Defoe' - Leon Britton backs Swansea loanee to make grade at Chelsea

Leon Britton believes Tammy Abraham is capable of using Swansea as a stepping stone into the Chelsea first team.

England Under-21 international Abraham scored his first Premier League double as Swansea beat Huddersfield 2-0 on Saturday to climb out of the relegation zone.

Britton says the on-loan striker's finishing skills remind him of his former West Ham youth colleague Jermain Defoe.

And he feels Abraham could become that rare home-grown commodity who breaks through at Chelsea.

"It is difficult at Chelsea. We have seen a lot of players who have left and have had big careers elsewhere," Swansea skipper Britton said.
