Chelsea’s rising star Tammy Abraham has yet to decide where he will be playing his football next season.

Abraham has scored 21 League goals from 36 appearances on loan at Bristol City and is being targeted by Leicester City.

Chelsea are very unlikely to sell, especially because coach Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of the club’s Academy graduate.

The Italian head coach told Standard Sport earlier in the season that he is closely monitoring the 19-year-old striker, whose goals have almost single-handedly kept Bristol City out of the Championship drop zone, in view of adding him to the senior squad.

When asked about his plans for next term, Abraham said: “It’s something that has played with my mind.

“I’ve asked myself the same question — and I’ll ask my parents and see what my agents are saying — but I think I need to get through this season first and finish on a high.

“It would obviously be a dream for me to be playing in the Premier League but I have to focus on Bristol City first.”
