Chelsea loans Abraham to Aston Villa
Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has joined Aston Villa on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old moves to the Championship despite having been linked with Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.
"I'm excited for this new chapter," the striker said.
"Aston Villa are a big club that belongs in the Premier League and I'm here to help them achieve that.
"At this stage of my career, I need games and this is a great place for me to come and showcase my talent. I can't wait to get started."
Abraham scored 23 goals in 41 Championship appearances on loan at Bristol City in 2016/2017.
He spent last season with Swansea City, scoring eight times in all competitions.
The England international could make his debut against Sheffield United this weekend.
