According to The Express & Star, Wolverhampton Wanderers are close to signing Tammy Abraham, currently on loan at Aston Villa from Chelsea.

It has been reported that Abraham, who joined Villa on loan from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, will join Wolves on loan until the end of the season.

The Wanderers will reportedly have no option to secure the services of the 21-year-old striker on a permanent basis in the summer of 2019, with the Blues claimed to be reluctant to sell the youngster, who is reported to be earning £55,000 per week as salary.

Blow for Aston Villa

Abraham has been superb for Villa so far this season and has scored 16 goals in 20 Championship appearances for the Villans, according to WhoScored.

Losing the 21-year-old striker will be a blow for Villa, who have come to rely on him for goals in recent weeks.

Wolves, though, will get a player in great form and who can only get better in the coming months.
