Boothroyd backs Abraham for Premier League impact

After seeing Tammy Abraham net a double on his full England Under-21 bow, Aidy Boothroyd backed the 19-year-old to be a Premier League star.

England Under-21 interim manager Aidy Boothroyd has backed Chelsea youngster Tammy Abraham to make an impact in the Premier League, but held back on comparisons to Marcus Rashford.

The 19-year-old is currently on loan at Bristol City and has scored eight goals in the Championship so far this season, making him the division's top-scorer.

Abraham then made his full U21 debut in a 5-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday, marking his bow with a brace.
