Newcastle United transfer target Tammy Abraham has admitted to the Daily Mail that he is still not sure where his future lies.

Newcastle have been linked with the Chelsea forward in recent weeks (Daily Star), with Rafael Benitez keen to snap the youngster up.

Brighton & Hove Albion are also competing for Abraham’s signature, with the youngster reportedly set for a loan move.

Newcastle have been said to be winning the race for Abraham’s signature (Telegraph).

However, the 19-year-old insists that he still hasn’t made his mind up about any move.

“I’m not sure what I’m doing next season, if I’m coming back, going elsewhere on loan or staying at Chelsea,” Abraham said.

“I haven’t decided yet. You have to stay open and things may come at different times but I have to dream big and that’s what I’m going to be doing.”

Abraham spent last season out on loan at Bristol City, where he netted 26 goals and looked highly impressive.

Newcastle and Brighton both believe he could cope at the top level, but it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will sanction a temporary deal.

If Abraham does move to Newcastle he will be in competition with Dwight Gayle over a first-team place.
