A report claims that Brentford are leading the race to sign Chelsea youngster Tammy Abraham on loan.

Brentford have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Chelsea attacker Tammy Abraham on loan.

The youngster is highly regarded at Stamford Bridge, having scored seven goals in this season's UEFA Youth League.

Aged 18, the Blues are now considering sending him out on a temporary basis to gain regular first-team action, according to ESPN.

The report adds that a number of Championship clubs are keen, but it is the Bees that currently lead the race.

Abraham has been capped by England at Under-18 and Under-19 level.
