# Newcastle join Abraham race

Newcastle have joined a number of clubs in the race to sign Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.

[According to The Bristol Post,](https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-striker-being-tracked-aston-1847383) Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Newcastle are all keen on the centre-forward.

Abraham spent the last campaign on loan to Swansea in the Premier League, scoring eight times as they were relegated to the Championship.

The 20-year-old is highly rated at Chelsea but looks set for another loan move away from the club to continue his development.

He scored 26 goals for Bristol City during the 2016/17 season, in what was a breakthrough year for the forward.

The striker has also been capped twice by England at senior level, whilst also being a regular for the under-21 side.

If Newcastle were to sign Abraham it would have to be on a permanent basis, with Kenedy already on loan from Chelsea.

The forward is more likely to leave on loan, though, leaving Villa and Crystal Palace in the driving seat.
