Tammy Abraham has slammed speculation that he has demanded to be Chelsea's highest earner on over £180,000-per-week.

Abraham, who has become Chelsea's No 1 striker this season under Frank Lampard after scoring 13 goals in 25 Premier League matches, has rejected the latest contract offer from the club.

It is understood that the England striker is seeking a salary that matches that of Chelsea's top earners before committing his long-term future to the club.
