Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce has told The Birmingham Mail that he wants to sign Tammy Abraham from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

According to The Birmingham Mail, Championship club Villa want to sign Abraham on loan from Premier League side Chelsea this summer.

Bruce has stated his interest in the 20-year-old striker – who earns £50,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com.

“If he does become available then there’s a definite interest from us, of course there is,” Bruce told The Birmingham Mail about Abraham. “But I haven’t had any conversation with Chelsea.

“If he was available then I think half the Championship would love to take somebody like Tammy Abraham lets be honest. I don’t think we’re alone.”
