Bristol City coach says Chelsea striker is like this Arsenal legend

According to Bristol City first-team coach John Pemberton, Chelsea Football Club loanee Tammy Abraham is like Ian Wright.

Abraham has been impressive this season with City after signing on a season-long loan deal last month.

The 18-year-old striker scored his 10th goal of the campaign as City beat Fulham 4-0 on Saturday.

And now Abraham has now received glowing praise from the Robins first-team coach, who has compared the teenager to Arsenal legend Wirght.

“Tammy is very much like Ian Wright with regard to being in the right place at the right time,” Pemberton told BBC Points West.

“Ian Wright could create something out of nothing and Tammy is the same with regards to goalscoring.

“He’s frightening and he just has this knack of getting there when you think he can’t do it, and that is something Wrighty had as well.

“He is like a sponge, he wants to take everything on board.

“Losing [Jonathan] Kodjia [who joined Aston Villa in the summer] has not hurt us as much as we thought it may do and at the moment we feel we might have the better deal.”
