Aston Villa loanee Tammy Abraham is one of the Championship’s most lethal hitmen.
Kortney Hause has revealed to Aston Villa’s official website that Tammy Abraham is ‘definitely’ the hardest player to face in training.
The Chelsea-owned striker has netted 20 Championship goals on his season-long loan at Aston Villa, making him one of the division’s most lethal hitmen.
In fact, Abraham could yet win the league’s Golden Boot award come May, with Norwich City marksman Teemu Pukku only three ahead of him.
With that in mind, it is no surprise to see defender Hause – on loan at Villa Park from Wolves – admit that he struggles with the 21-year-old in training.
Asked by Aston Villa’s official website who the hardest team-mate to face in training, Hause said: “It’s got to be Tammy. He’s big. He’s quick. He’s sharp.
“He’s got such long legs, too. In training, you think the ball is coming to you and then all of a sudden you’ll find those big lanky legs are there – and then in a flash he’s scored.
“Tammy is the hardest opponent, definitely. “
It’s a shame that Aston Villa are 13th in the Championship, because with a striker of Abraham’s talents they could be doing so much better.
There is a clear imbalance in Smith’s squad at the moment and one that he’ll need to address this summer, especially because Abraham might not be staying in the West Midlands.
