Chelsea Reportedly Rejected £25m Tammy Abraham Bid From Rivals Tottenham on Deadline Day

Chelsea reportedly rejected a deadline day offer from Premier League and London rivals Tottenham for young striker Tammy Abraham, with Spurs seemingly eyeing the England Under-21 forward as support and back-up for Harry Kane.

Twenty-year-old Abraham, who remains under contract at Chelsea until 2022, only managed five Premier League goals during a loan spell with a poor Swansea side last season. But his 23 goals in the Championship for Bristol City the year before still make him an attractive talent.

According to Goal, Mauricio Pochettino 'singled out' Abraham as the player he wanted to deputise for Kane and a sizeable £25m bid was apparently made on deadline day.
