Tammy Abraham snubs Wolves loan to stay and help Villa promotion push
By Stuart James - Tue 8 Jan 2019

• Striker boosts Villa’s hopes of Premier League return
• Another loan deal was not appealing to Chelsea player


Tammy Abraham has given Aston Villa a huge boost by turning down a loan move to Wolverhampton Wanderers in favour of remaining with the Championship club for the remainder of the season.

The 21-year-old had looked set to join Wolves after the club made contact with Chelsea last week but Abraham has informed Villa that he would prefer to stay and try to help them win promotion.


The news will give Dean Smith, the Villa manager, and the club’s supporters a major lift. Abraham has scored 16 goals for Villa this season and is the joint top scorer in the Championship. Although Abraham has appeared settled at Villa Park and is enjoying his football, there was a clause in the loan deal that was agreed with Chelsea in the summer that allowed the Premier League club to recall the player this month.


Several Premier League clubs have inquired about signing Abraham, with Wolves at the front of the queue, and there was an expectation that the forward would join Villa’s rivals this week.

However, it is understood that although Abraham would be open to a permanent transfer to a Premier League club this month, the prospect of another loan deal is not so appealing.

Personally, I think that will be it now and Tammy Abraham will remain at Villa for the season (at least)

Wolves were clearly the main option (of those on offer) but he appears 'happy' at Villa :|

If he is open to permanent move we should be 25m to Chelsea and sign him. Proven championship striker if we go down! Much prefer a. Young player like this than Sala who has a. Mediocre record. And approaching 29 years

Reason didn't go to wolves is obvious? He wouldn't get a start except for injuries why go sit on bench when can stay at villa boosting his value if sold by chelsea as he's s scoring goals regularly, Not sure coming to us would be his best option either.
