Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham may reportedly benefit from Timo Werner's expected arrival at Chelsea by negotiating a more favourable contract at Stamford Bridge.

Tammy Abraham will reportedly use Timo Werner's imminent arrival at Chelsea as an opportunity to negotiate a more favourable contract.

Chelsea are expected to officially announce the signing of Werner in the coming weeks after supposedly triggering the buyout clause in his RB Leipzig contract.

The Germany international's arrival was expected to spell bad news for Abraham, who has been tasked with leading the line for the Blues this season.

However, The Express reports that the 22-year-old could use the big-money transfer to his advantage as he prepares to open talks over a new deal.

Abraham has two years to run on his existing terms and could now be in line for a significant pay rise, it is claimed, bringing him in line with the club's other high earners.

Chelsea return to Premier League action after a near-four-month hiatus with a trip to Aston Villa on June 21.
