West Ham are tracking Chelsea’s on loan teenager Tammy Abraham who is proving a goalscoring sensation at Bristol City.
With class strikers so thin on the ground, the Irons scouting staff have been watching the 18 year old who has been scoring for fun with the Championship outfit
Since agreeing a season long deal with City Abraham has scored 12 in 20 appearances to become a massive terrace favourite who is attracting a host of scouts to Ashton Gate.
The teenager has also appeared in the England under 19 set up where he grabbed two goals against Switzerland last March.
And although he signed a new contract with Chelsea last year which commits him to the club until the end of the 2018/19 season the Hammers continue to monitor the 19 year old.
ClaretandHugh was told by a club insider: “We have had him watched and although he’s not the finished product he is an exciting prospect with a tremendous goal instinct.”
Wait until he is closer to the finished article then, how many young potential strikers have we signed in the last 20 or 30 years that have been that good in the long term ?
