Hull City are interested in signing Tammy Abraham from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

According to the report, Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion are also interested in signing the forward on loan from the Blues.

The Sun has claimed that Chelsea are considering sending the 19-year-old to Hull on a loan deal as he would get more playing time there.

The Tigers will play in the Championship next season while Newcastle and Brighton will feature in the Premier League, but Hull do have an advantage.

Leonid Slutsky was recently appointed the Hull manager, and the Russian is friends with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, according to The Sun.

This is an advantage that could see Hull pip Newcastle and Brighton to the signature of Abraham, who has already proved himself in the Championship.

After all, if Chelsea want Abraham to get regular playing time next season, then it would make sense for the London club to send him to a club where the manager is a friend of Abramovich.

During the 2016-17 campaign, the England Under-21 international scored 23 goals and provided three assists in 41 Championship appearances for Bristol City, according to WhoScored.
