Tammy
Abraham admits his Chelsea future is not certain but says talks will have to
wait until after his U21 Euro 2017 campaign.
The 19-year-old is preparing for England's first game of the European
championships against Sweden in Poland on Friday, following a successful
loan campaign at Bristol City where he scored 26 Sky Bet Championship goals.
Newcastle United are closing in on a season-long loan for Abraham, according
to Sky sources, but the player is delaying a decision on his future until
after international duty.
"As far as I am aware, yeah," he said, when asked if his future was still
open. "I haven't spoken with Chelsea yet. I am focusing on this tournament
so the discussions will happen after.
"I'm not too sure (about his future). Hopefully it will be in the Premier
League.
"After this season I need to take myself to the next level. That's the type
of person I am, I always want to do better. I always want to do more. So
going into the new season my aim will be to top this one."
Abraham watched parent club Chelsea win the Premier League last season but
insisted he needed to concentrate on his own development before aiming to
establish himself at Stamford Bridge.
He added: "For me it was more about focusing on myself and trying to build
up myself. The players at Chelsea are established in the Premier League and
this was my first season. I was trying to build myself up and make a name
for myself."
