Swansea
City have signed Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham on a season-long loan.
Abraham signed a new five-year deal with parent-club Chelsea ahead of the
loan move.
Abraham was part of the England squad that lost the European U21
Championship semi-final to Germany last month, and spent last season on loan
in the Sky Bet Championship with Bristol City.
Swans boss Paul Clement worked with Abraham in his time at Chelsea and was
keen to bring the 19-year-old to the Liberty Stadium to boost his attacking
options.
Abraham scored 23 goals for the Robins in his first full season of
professional football.
His arrival could be preceded by a striker departure with Swansea set to
loan Borja Baston to Malaga for the season, according to Sky sources.
Baston has endured a difficult time since arriving in Wales for a club
record fee of £15.5m from Atletico Madrid last summer, scoring only once.
He is reported to be house-hunting in Malaga and could undergo a medical on
Tuesday.
