A deleted tweet has the internet buzzing
England under-21 striker Tammy Abraham tweeted out he has signed a five-year contract with Chelsea prior to his reported upcoming season-long loan to Swansea.
Abraham, who scored 26 goals on loan at Championship Bristol City last season, announced his new deal on Twitter – however, moments later the message was deleted.
According to reports he had written: “Happy to sign a new 5 year contract with @ChelseaFC.”
Abraham has been linked with loan moves to Brighton, Newcastle and Celtic, but Swansea appear to have won the battle for his signature.
Swans boss Paul Clement used to be the Chelsea assistant boss.
It is normal practice for Chelsea’s talented young players to sign contract extensions before departing on season-long loans.
UPDATE: It’s has now been confirmed that Tammy has infact signed a 5-year-deal with Chelsea and is about to embark on a season long loan.
