# Abraham eyes European move after Villa interest

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham could pursue a move to either Serie A or the Eredivisie, despite strong interest from Aston Villa.

[The Guardian reports](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/aug/20/football-transfer-rumours-ruben-neves-next-to-join-manchester-city) that the player could favour a move abroad, with the player looking set for another loan move away from Stamford Bridge.

Abraham was not named in the squad to face Arsenal on Saturday night, a huge hint that his immediate future is away from the Blues.

Maurizio Sarri has been keen to back Alvaro Morata as Chelsea’s first-choice striker, while Olivier Giroud will provide competition for the former Real Madrid forward.

Villa have been heavily linked with a move for the former Swansea City loanee as they go in search of extra firepower in the final third.

Abraham enjoyed a free-scoring spell in the Championship with Bristol City before a mixed time on loan at Swansea City in his first top-flight season.

Regular game time appears hard to come by for Abraham at Chelsea, which may make a loan move away the best move for both parties.
