Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham wants to stay in the Premier League despite Aston Villa offering him the chance of another loan in the Championship, according to the Daily Mail.

Abraham spent last season at Swansea City as the Welsh club were relegated from the top flight of English football and the youngster managed eight goals in 39 matches in all competitions.

The year before that the 20-year-old was in the second tier with Bristol City and greatly impressed, netting 23 times in 41 league games to finish as the second highest scorer in the Championship behind Chris Wood.

Should West Ham make a move?

While Abraham hardly shone overall in the top flight in 2017/18, the forward did make a fast start to life at the Liberty Stadium with four goals in his first eight league outings.

This helped the starlet get a call-up into Gareth Southgate’s senior England squad and he has two caps to date – although was not named in the travelling party for the 2018 World Cup.

Abraham was also playing in a very defensive Swans setup under Paul Clement and Carlos Carvalhal that finished as the lowest scorers in the entire division.

So therefore West Ham United could still perhaps take a punt on the Englishman, with the Mirror reporting manager Manuel Pellegrini wants to sign at least one new player upfront.

That is because with Andy Carroll injured and Jordan Hugill expected to depart the East London club, Pellegrini currently only has Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez as options in the position.
