Chelsea super teen Tammy Abraham whose
international future is been heavily contested
between Nigeria and England, believes he will
make the grade at Stamford Bridge.
Abraham has scored 11 goals in his 16 games
for Bristol City, who he joined on loan in the
summer, including eight in the league. The 19-
year-old was awarded the PFA Fans’ Player of
the Month award for August and September as a
result of his efforts.
Having aided the Robins to sixth in the second
tier, Abraham believes he has the ability to force
his way into Antonio Conte’s plans.
‘I think with the new manager coming in the
chances are there because we can see he’s been
playing youngsters,’ Abraham told Sky Sports.
‘It’s a case of when you get the opportunity you
have to impress and give your all.
‘Everyone has their time and hopefully my time
will come soon.’
Abraham is yet to respond to news about
Nigeria pulling the stops to have him play for
their senior national team, a report which gained
global prominence one week ago.
Nigeria have already made contact with the
England youth international to switch allegiance
to Nigeria at senior level, according to the
president of the Nigeria Football Federation
(NFF) Amaju Pinnick.
“Tammy Abraham’s dad is my childhood friend,
we grew up in the same neighbourhood in Warri,”
Pinnick revealed in a chat.
“We speak quite often. Just finished another
convo with him now. When we are ready, I am
sure the NFF will not have any problem in
securing his release. Tammy is like a son to
me.”
