Tammy Abraham 'pushing Chelsea for pay rise to £130k-a-week' to match wages of fellow academy graduate Callum Hudson-Odoi as Frank Lampard urges striker to rediscover scoring form of early season

Tammy Abraham 'has asked Chelsea for a new contract worth £130,000-a-week' to match that of his fellow academy graduate Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The England forward, 22, who has scored 15 goals during a breakthrough season at Stamford Bridge, has two years remaining on his current £50,000-a-week deal.

According to The Times, Abraham has been waiting for Chelsea's moves in the summer transfer market before deciding his future.
