AC Milan 'turned down chance to sign Tammy Abraham'

AC Milan reportedly rejected the chance to sign Tammy Abraham from Chelsea during the summer.

The centre-forward scored 26 times during a loan spell at Aston Villa last season before returning to Stamford Bridge for the 2019-20 campaign.

Abraham, who is a two-time England international, has been in fine form for Frank Lampard's side this season - netting seven goals in six Premier League appearances.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Milan had the opportunity to sign the striker during the recent transfer window, but the Serie A giants pulled the plug as they were concerned by his lack of experience at the top level.

Abraham is ahead of both Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi in the pecking order at Chelsea, although the 21-year-old is yet to complete a Premier League match this season.
