Tammy Abraham has sent a four-word message to Aston Villa after the club posted highlights of the thrilling 5-5 draw against Nottingham Forest in 2018.

The Chelsea striker – who earns £57,692-a-week – tweeted the following.

In that unbelievable game at Villa Park, the England international netted four of the Villans’ five goals in just 71 minutes of the match, meaning he scored every 17.8 minutes against Forest that day.

Additionally, as WhoScored shows, the ex-Swansea striker only had 40 touches in total, meaning that he scored a goal with every ten touches that night.

Abraham also won four aerial duels and made two key passes, earning a perfect ten from WhoScored in regards to match ratings.

In total, the London-born striker’s spell at Villa Park was a huge success.

The 23-year-old netted 26 goals in just 40 appearances to fire Dean Smith’s side back into the Premier League, while also assisting three goals too.

Since then, he has scored 18 Premier League goals for Chelsea, taking his tally in total for the Blues to 23 in 64 games.

Both he and Villa are now starring in England’s top-flight.

As far as mutually-beneficial loan spells go, you’ll be hard pushed to find one that was as successful as Abraham’s stint in the Midlands two years ago.
