Abraham has Chelsea contract extended to 2023 as clause is activated after reaching 15 goals

Tammy Abraham has had his Chelsea contract extended by another year to 2023 after a clause was activated after he reached 15 Premier League goals.

The England striker was on the scoresheet in the Blues' 3-2 win over Crystal Palace, with Frank Lampard's side having won consecutive matches as they aim to finish in the Champions League spots.

The clause in Abraham's contract gives Chelsea some further breathing room as they consider the forward's long-term future, with his original deal having been due to expire in 2022.
