Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has enjoyed a brilliant season out on loan, so perhaps West Ham should consider making a move.
Bristol City’s Tammy Abraham celebrates scoring
West Ham prospect Domingos Quina has told The Sun that he is delighted for Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham given the success that he has enjoyed out on loan with Bristol City this summer, and perhaps Hammers boss Slaven Bilic should take notice of the 17-year-old’s comments.
Quina worked alongside Abraham when he was with the Blues shortly before he ended up at the London Stadium. Like the Hammers midfielder, the 19-year-old has spent the season away from Stamford Bridge, having dropped into the Championship for the campaign.
And he has certainly taken full advantage of the opportunity, scoring 19 goals in 33 league games for a struggling Robins side that would surely be in even greater trouble without his contribution.
And Quina has suggested that the forward’s form has come as absolutely no surprise to him having worked with him previously.
“I’m buzzing for Tammy Abraham,” he told The Sun.
“What he is doing is amazing and I knew what he was capable of and now he’s doing it.
“Not just me, but it gives all young players that feeling of ‘if you want to, you can do it’.”
With Quina’s current side struggling for goals from their strikers – Andy Carroll is still the leading goalscorer out of the forwards with six Premier League goals to his name – the Hammers could surely do a lot worse than target Abraham on loan next season.

Antonio Conte may want to see the teenager play regularly in the top flight before using him more often at Stamford Bridge, and sending him to the London Stadium would surely be a smart move.
And with Diego Costa and Michy Batshuayi seemingly standing between him and a place in the first-team with the Blues, perhaps there may be scope for a more permanent deal to be done further down the line, which would be undoubtedly be a major boost to the Hammers if he can replicate anything like the form he has shown at Ashton Gate this year.
Quina would certainly back him for success it seems.
