Report: Newcastle United to rival Crystal Palace for Tammy Abraham

Newcastle United are the latest Premier League side to have been linked with a move for Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.

The twice-capped England international is currently on loan in the Championship with Aston Villa, where he has scored 12 goals in 16 outings.

Chelsea are said to be weighing up whether to recall Abraham, however, with a number of top-flight clubs willing to give him a chance in the second half of the season.

According to the Northern Echo, Newcastle are one of the sides looking to bring the 21-year-old on board, along with fellow top-flights strugglers Crystal Palace.

Cardiff City are also believed to hold an interest, having unsuccessfully attempted to sign Abraham in the summer.

Abraham scored five goals in 31 Premier League appearances during his season-long spell with Swansea City in 2017-18.
