# Palace keen on Abraham deal

Crystal Palace are interested in a deal to take Tammy Abraham on a season-long loan from Chelsea next season.

[According to The Guardian,](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/31/crystal-palace-max-meyer-closing-in) Palace are looking into the loan market and have identified Abraham as a target.

Palace are eager to sign a new striker this window after Christian Benteke failed to hit his top form last season in front of goal.

Abraham spent the last campaign on loan to Swansea in the Premier League, scoring eight times as they were relegated to the Championship.

The 20-year-old is highly rated at Chelsea but looks set for another loan move away from the club to continue his development.

He scored 26 goals for Bristol City during the 2016/17 season, in what was a breakthrough year for the forward.

The striker has also been capped twice by England at senior level, whilst also being a regular for the under-21 side.
