Chelsea 'in advanced contract talks with Tammy Abraham'

Chelsea are reportedly 'in advanced talks' with Tammy Abraham over a new deal at Stamford Bridge.

The 22-year-old, who has scored 15 times in 34 appearances for Frank Lampard's side during the 2019-20 campaign, will see his current deal with the Blues will expire in June 2022.

Abraham returned to Chelsea last summer after spending the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Aston Villa, and he has netted 13 Premier League goals for his capital club this term.

According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, the Blues want to extend the England international's contract until the summer of 2025 and have offered the centre-forward wages of £7m a year.

Lampard's side are expected to be in the market for at least one new striker this summer with both Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi potentially moving on ahead of next season.

Chelsea are also allegedly preparing a move for Real Madrid attacker Lucas Vazquez.
