Newly Promoted Newcastle United in Pole Position to Sign Chelsea Striker Tammy Abraham on Loan

Newly-promoted Premier League club Newcastle United are edging closer towards completing a loan deal for Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham. The 19-year-old came up through the ranks of the Blues' youth setup before being promoted to the first team in 2016. Following the arrival of Antonio Conte, the teenager was sent to Championship side Bristol City on a season-long loan last summer.

According to ESPN FC, several clubs have made an approach in signing the prolific striker. Bristol City were keen on re-signing Abraham on loan, but it is now believed that Newcastle are leading the race for his signature.

Chelsea wanted assurances from potential suitors that Abraham will get regular playing time if he is allowed to join them on loan.

Abraham was the star player for Bristol, scoring 26 goals across all competitions for Lee Johnson's side. The striker's agent Eliot Van Til revealed in April that Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will have to make a decision in the summer as his client targets regular football next season.

"Tammy has made a statement with the season he has had and shown his enormous potential. For certain his target will be playing regularly in Chelsea first team, we will have to see when that comes. This is a question for Antonio Conte, he must decide whether Tammy is ready or not," Van Til told IBTimes UK.

A move to Newcastle is likely to take shape, especially after Abraham publicly expressed his desire to play in England's top flight club competition. The report from ESPN also claims that Chelsea are set to tie down Abraham to a new deal before allowing him to leave on another loan spell.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Could Make Man United Return this Year, Says Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is confident Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be available for Manchester United before the end of the year. The Swedish striker - who has been regularly updating his Instagram followers of his rehabilitation from a knee injury - has this week begun doing some very light ball work with the club's coaching staff at Carrington. Ibrahimovic signed a new one-year deal at United on August 24 after the first serious injury of his career cut short a stellar first season at Old Trafford earlier this year. The player's doctor Freddie Fu has warned against rushing his return and United boss Jose Mourinho had previously suggested he will not play for the club in January but has reassessed that prediction. "(Paul) Pogba is not here I don't know when he will be back," he said. "Zlatan is working under our control here as I would expect. He is working so, so hard but he won't be back in the next week or the next couple of weeks. "He nee...
