Chelsea have given permission to newly-promoted duo Newcastle and Brighton to talk to striker Tammy Abraham about a possible loan move for the upcoming season.

The 19-year-old scored 26 goals during his season long loan with Bristol City in the Championship, and could be set for a Premier League loan for the 2017-18 season according to the Telegraph.

The Blues want to tie Abraham down to a long-term deal this summer before sending him out on loan as he makes the next step up in his development.

Brighton are thought to be leading the race for Abraham's signature, although Chelsea have made it clear that he will not be leaving on a permanent transfer.

The U21 England international has attracted much attention from both home and abroad, but the Blues are eager to make him a part of their long-term future.
