​According to The Telegraph, Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion have both been given permission to talk to Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.



Abraham enjoyed a very successful season on loan at Bristol City scoring 23 goals in the Championship.



Chelsea want the 19-year-old to sign a new long-term deal at Stamford Bridge before allowing him to leave on loan to a Premier League club.

​​According to the report, Brighton is currently leading in the race to sign the striker but Rafa Benitez is also showing strong interest.



Abraham is considered as one of England's best young prospects and securing his services on loan for next season would prove a coup for any newly promoted side.





Chelsea are adamant they do not want to sell Abraham but would be keen to see him play in the Premier League with a different club on loan.





He is set to sign a new contract with a pay rise after his successful season at Ashton Gate.
